The Husqvarna 135 chainsaw is designed for users who want dependable cutting performance in a compact, easy-to-handle package. Ideal for firewood cutting, garden maintenance and occasional tree work, it brings Husqvarna’s long-standing chainsaw expertise into a model that’s approachable, efficient and practical for everyday use.

Whether you’re a homeowner managing trees and logs or a landowner looking for a reliable saw for seasonal jobs, the Husqvarna 135 delivers a strong balance of usability, safety and cutting capability.

Built for Homeowners and Occasional Users

Unlike professional forestry saws, the Husqvarna 135 is purpose-built for light to medium-duty work. Its lightweight design makes it comfortable to use for longer periods, while still offering enough cutting ability to handle logs, branches and smaller trees with confidence.

At the heart of the saw is a 38cc petrol engine, providing enough output for domestic cutting tasks without making the saw heavy or intimidating. This makes it particularly appealing to users who want petrol performance but don’t need a large professional machine.

Easy Starting and Smooth Operation

One of the biggest frustrations for casual chainsaw users can be starting the engine. Husqvarna addresses this with its X-Torq engine technology, which not only improves fuel efficiency but also supports smoother starts and more stable running.

The saw is equipped with:

• A combined choke/stop control to reduce the risk of flooding

• An air purge system that helps remove air from the carburettor for easier starting

• A lightweight recoil starter designed to minimise effort

Together, these features make the Husqvarna 135 far less demanding to operate, even for users with limited chainsaw experience.

Comfortable Handling and Control

Comfort and control are essential when working with cutting equipment, and the Husqvarna 135 is clearly designed with this in mind.

The saw’s low vibration levels help reduce fatigue, particularly during longer cutting sessions. Combined with an ergonomic front handle and balanced body design, it feels stable and predictable in use, which is especially important for domestic users.

The compact size also makes it easier to manoeuvre when trimming branches or cutting logs at ground level.

Efficient Cutting Performance

Fitted with a 14-inch guide bar, the Husqvarna 135 is well suited to typical garden and firewood tasks. It offers clean, controlled cuts without overloading the engine, making it a dependable choice for users who want consistent results rather than outright power.

The chain tensioning system is simple and accessible, allowing users to maintain optimal cutting performance with minimal tools or experience.

Designed with Safety in Mind

Husqvarna places strong emphasis on user safety, and the 135 includes key features that help protect the operator:

• Inertia-activated chain brake to stop the chain quickly in the event of kickback

• Chain guide plate and hand guard to reduce exposure during operation

• Clearly visible controls for confident handling

These features make the Husqvarna 135 particularly suitable for homeowners who may only use a chainsaw occasionally but still want professional-grade safety standards.

Fuel Efficiency and Reduced Emissions

Thanks to Husqvarna’s X-Torq technology, the 135 uses fuel more efficiently than older two-stroke designs. This not only helps reduce running costs but also lowers exhaust emissions, making it a more environmentally responsible choice for petrol-powered garden equipment.

For users who rely on their chainsaw seasonally, improved fuel efficiency is a real advantage over time.

Ideal Uses for the Husqvarna 135

The Husqvarna 135 is best suited to:

• Cutting and preparing firewood

• Pruning branches and small trees

• General garden maintenance

• Occasional property and land management

It’s not intended to replace professional forestry saws, but within its intended role, it performs reliably and consistently.

Why the Husqvarna 135 Remains a Popular Choice

The appeal of the Husqvarna 135 lies in its simplicity. It offers enough cutting capability for real-world domestic tasks, while remaining easy to start, comfortable to use and straightforward to maintain.

For homeowners who want a trusted petrol chainsaw from a proven manufacturer, without stepping into professional-grade complexity or weight, the Husqvarna 135 continues to be a smart and dependable option.
