Recommended cutting equipment
Chainsaw models Husqvarna 565, 572 XP, 572 XPG
have been evaluated for safety according to EN ISO
11681-1:2011 (Machinery for forestry - Portable
chainsaw safety requirements and testing) and fulfill the
safety requirements when equipped with the below listed
guide bar and saw chain combinations.
Kickback and guide bar nose radius
For sprocket nose bars the nose radius is defined by the
number of teeth (for example 10T). For solid guide bars
the nose radius is defined by the size of the nose radius.
For a given guide bar length, you may use a guide bar
with smaller nose radius than listed.

The usable cutting length is usually 1 in less than the
nominal guide bar length.
Filing equipment and filing angles
Using Husqvarna file gauge will give you the correct
filing angles. We recommend you to always use a
Husqvarna file gauge to restore the sharpness of the
saw chain. The part numbers are given in the table
below.
