Husqvarna 564 XP EFI Professional Chainsaw 60cc with 20" Bar

The Husqvarna 564 XP EFI is a groundbreaking 60cc professional chainsaw engineered for forestry and tree care professionals who demand cutting-edge performance. Combining the compact size and maneuverability of a 50cc saw with the power output of a 70cc, it delivers an exceptional power-to-weight ratio in a slim, lightweight body. The electronic fuel injection system provides instant acceleration, higher productivity, and improved fuel efficiency compared to carburettor engines. Supplied with a 20" guide bar and Husqvarna X-CUT® saw chain.

Key Features

• Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) — Dynamic fuel delivery for instant throttle response, faster adaptation to conditions, improved fuel efficiency, and higher productivity than carburettor engines
• Simple Start Technology — Automatic fuel/air balance adjustment for consistent, easy starting whether cold or warm
• Outboard Clutch for Improved Balance — Drive sprocket positioned between clutch and crankcase brings the bar closer to the centre of gravity, narrowing the body and improving balance — especially beneficial during limbing
• Short Stroke Engine — Compact, low-weight design with low disturbance forces achieved via short stroke length, short connecting rod, and slim crankcase
• Air Injection™ — Filters 98% of incoming sawdust, grit, and dirt before it reaches the air filter, reducing cleaning intervals and maintaining consistent performance
• LowVib® Technology — Dampeners between engine and chassis significantly reduce vibrations for all-day comfort and reduced operator fatigue
• Husqvarna X-CUT® Chain Included — Designed and tested alongside Husqvarna professional chainsaws for superior cutting efficiency, long-lasting sharpness, and less frequent tensioning
• Magnetic Fuel Filter — Captures metal particles in the fuel hose before they reach the fuel delivery system and engine, minimizing wear and downtime
• Ability to Carry Longer Bars — Powerful engine combined with a large bar mount, sturdy crankcase, and sufficient chain oiling supports extended bar lengths
• Slimmed-Down Body — Low, slender profile for easy, convenient handling in any position
• Lightweight Muffler — Contributes to lower overall weight without sacrificing performance
• Flip-Up Fuel Cap — Opens easily and secures firmly, even with thick gloves
• Snap-Lock Cylinder Cover — Fast access for spark plug changes and air filter cleaning
• 2K Moulded Fuel Window — Durable sight window reduces risk of running dry
• Captive Bar Nuts — Retaining function prevents bar nuts from being lost during bar changes
• Raised Felling Sight — High-durability felling mark for accurate directional felling throughout the product’s lifespan
• Improved Serviceability — Error codes readable via Husqvarna Service Hub for accurate diagnostics

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of fuel injection (EFI) over a carburettor on a professional chainsaw?
Electronic fuel injection continuously adjusts the fuel-to-air ratio electronically based on engine conditions, altitude, temperature, and load. Compared to a carburettor, EFI delivers faster throttle response (instant acceleration), better fuel efficiency, consistent performance across varying conditions without manual adjustment, and easier starting. It also reduces the number of components in the air filter area, keeping the saw compact and lightweight.

What does the outboard clutch design mean for balance and handling?
On a conventional chainsaw, the clutch is positioned differently relative to the crankcase. The 564 XP’s outboard clutch places the drive sprocket between the clutch system and the crankcase, which moves the guide bar attachment point closer to the chainsaw’s centre of gravity. The practical result is a narrower, better-balanced saw that is easier to control during limbing and other precision work.

Is the Husqvarna 564 XP EFI suitable for arborist climbing work?
Yes — the 564 XP EFI is well-suited to arborist applications. Its 60cc displacement provides ample power for large-diameter cuts in the canopy, while the compact body, improved balance (via the outboard clutch), and LowVib® technology reduce fatigue during extended climbing and aerial work. The slim profile also aids maneuverability in tight canopy positions.

What bar lengths can the 564 XP EFI support beyond the included 20" bar?
The 564 XP EFI is engineered to carry longer bars than its displacement class would typically support, thanks to its powerful engine, large bar mount, sturdy crankcase, and sufficient chain oiling system. Husqvarna recommends consulting the owner’s manual or contacting us for guidance on the maximum recommended bar length for your specific application.
