Description
Overview:
The Protector/Chip Guard is a genuine Husqvarna part designed for professional and heavy-duty chainsaws, including the Husqvarna 288 and 394XP. Manufactured from tough, impact-resistant polymer in Husqvarna's trademark orange, it mounts at the cutting end to deflect chips and debris away from key components and the operator's hands. By guiding sawdust and wood fragments clear of the clutch cover and bodywork, it helps keep airflow paths cleaner and reduces buildup that can lead to premature wear. This guard is a straightforward, model-specific fit that supports reliable performance and easier routine maintenance. It is an ideal replacement when refurbishing a work-worn saw or when adding extra protection for demanding felling, bucking, or general forestry work.
