Description
Overview:
The Deflector for Husqvarna chainsaws is a Genuine Husqvarna part designed to manage exhaust flow safely and reliably. Made from durable metal, it mounts to the exhaust outlet to redirect hot gases and fine debris away from the user and machine. This helps keep the saw comfortable to use, reduces residue build-up, and supports consistent performance in demanding conditions. It is intended for Husqvarna professional saws such as the 281 and 288, and is supplied to the original equipment specification under OEM No. 503 51 25-01. Replacing a damaged or missing deflector restores safe operation and helps protect adjacent components from heat and debris during cutting work.
