Must be a new model, even the Husqvarna site has no ipl to download.

The saw is the 540............

And there's no heated handle model that I'm aware of

WOW!

I hadn't even heard about this.


"A perfect example is the improved clutch cover design that significantly reduces the risk of clogging...."


I love the 540i, but this has been my chief complaint, other than a better case construct for the battery (maybe even a plastic screw-on outer for one side, and a molded side for the other, likely clutch-side.) Also the damn brake sensor. Maybe the clutch will have only a physical brake, without the sensor.


The screw-/slide-in cover that goes over the air fins was enlarged, as I have one from a few years back that is noticeably smaller.


I'm hoping they will be compatible with the bLi series batteries. Would be a dumb move on their part, otherwise.


I didn't see anything about heated handles, though.


I won't be running out to buy one anytime soon, but the heated handle option could change the pace at which I do.
