Description
Overview:
The Front Handle Heat Cover is a genuine Husqvarna part designed for professional and domestic chainsaws in the 50-60 cc class, including the Husqvarna 545 and 550XP. Made from a heat‐resistant polymer in a compact, contoured form, it sits between the engine area and the front wrap handle to reduce heat transfer to the operator's hand. By shielding the grip from radiant and exhaust-side heat, it helps maintain a comfortable, secure hold during long cutting sessions. Built to Husqvarna's OEM specification (OEM No. 590 20 18-01), it offers a precise, reliable fit and consistent performance. It is a practical, long‐lasting component for keeping your saw comfortable to use in demanding forestry, arborist, and grounds maintenance work.
Key Features:
- Genuine Husqvarna part for precise compatibility and performance (OEM No. 590 20 18-01).
- Heat-resistant shield helps keep the front handle cooler during prolonged use.
- Durable, impact-resistant construction suited to professional site and woodland conditions.
- Seamless fit using the saw's original fixings; quick and straightforward to install.
- Contoured profile avoids interference with chain brake and front handle ergonomics.
- Resistant to oil, fuel, sap, and debris; easy to wipe clean and maintain.
- Stable performance across a wide temperature range for year‐round reliability.
- Designed to maintain grip comfort and reduce fatigue in continuous cutting.
Typical Applications:
Used on Husqvarna mid‐range saws for felling, snedding, limbing, and firewood processing. Helps protect the operator's leading hand from engine and exhaust-side heat during long shifts in forestry, arboriculture, landscaping, and estate maintenance where the saw runs hot for extended periods.
