battery-powered cutter from Husqvarna
About two years ago, trade magazine De Hovenier held a battery-powered cut-off saw test. These saws had just entered the market, but were they powerful enough? That turned out to be the case—some were even more powerful than their petrol counterparts. At the time, users judged the Husqvarna Construction saw to be the most comfortable to work with. In this article, we highlight the Husqvarna K 540i: a battery-powered cut-off machine that combines power and precision with ease of use.

the K 540i runs on an advanced battery system, offering emission-free operation and low noise levels. This makes the machine particularly suitable for use in urban or sensitive environments, where noise and emissions must be kept to a minimum. Thanks to the 'one-battery system', it is also easy to integrate into an existing battery setup.
cutting depth
The machine has a cutting depth of 100 mm, enabling it to tackle a wide range of materials and applications. An adjustable blade guard adds flexibility, while the specially developed cutting blades ensure accuracy and durability under intensive use.
safety and comfort in use
Special attention has been paid to safety and ergonomics in the design. For example, the K 540i features the X-Halt™ brake function, which quickly stops the blade in case of emergency. This reduces the risk of injury in unexpected situations. The low vibration levels increase comfort during prolonged use—especially important for precision work or tasks in hard-to-reach areas. With a favourable power-to-weight ratio and well-balanced construction, physical strain on the user is reduced. This makes the K 540i a practical and efficient solution for various green sector tasks.

sustainable material choice
A conscious approach was also taken in the choice of materials. The housing is made from so-called 'resource-smart' plastic: strong, wear-resistant, and produced with sustainability in mind. Combined with its emission-free operation, this contributes to a smaller ecological footprint.
suitable for wet and dry conditions
The K 540i is suitable for both wet and dry cutting, making it usable under various conditions and on different surfaces. This versatility makes it a valuable addition to the toolkit of any landscaper or green professional seeking a reliable, powerful, and future-proof cut-off machine.
