Description
Overview:
This Brake Band is a genuine Husqvarna safety component for petrol chainsaws. Made from durable steel, it sits in the brake cover and tightens around the clutch drum to stop the chain quickly when the front hand guard triggers the brake. Designed for a precise OEM fit, it restores reliable braking on machines with a worn or stretched band. Supplied as the correct replacement for models such as the 268 and 272XP, it helps keep your saw safe and dependable for everyday use. Engineered to match the original dimensions and spring tension, this band delivers consistent stopping force without dragging, so chain speed and clutch life are maintained.
