The Ventmaster® 572 Heavy-Duty Fire Rescue Saw is designed to deliver exceptional cutting performance in the most demanding fire and rescue operations. This chainsaw is equipped with advanced features to ensure reliability, durability, and ease of use.
Features
- Sealed & Protected Carburetor/Air Filter: Ensures 35% better engine cooling due to the cover design in relation to the cooling fan design. The air filter cannot be crushed or lost, and tool-less compartment entry allows easy access to the spark plug, air filter, and cylinder cooling fins, greatly reducing filter clogs.
- Tool-Less “KIS-40” Depth Gauge: Allows accurate control of cutting depth, protects the operator, and speeds up cutting safely. It is fast and simple to install and remove, eliminating the need to “roll the rafters.”
- VentMaster® COBALT Guide Bar: Features extremely hard COBALT alloy inserts at wear points, providing excellent wear, galling, and impact resistance, even at high operating temperatures.
- Centrifugal Force Air Cleaning System: Rejects 97% of cutting residue and airborne debris, including drywall dust, concrete dust, smoke, and water spray. This results in cleaner intake air, longer intervals between filter cleanings, longer runs at full power, less chain damage, smoother operation, and reduced internal engine wear.
- Husqvarna X-TORQ Engine: Equipped with a “SMART START” decompression valve that reduces cylinder pressure for less starting resistance and easier starts.
- Raptor Carbide Chain: Engineered to withstand the rigors of fire and rescue operations, featuring an “open dual raker” design to protect the carbide cutters and control the depth of cut. Capable of cutting through Plexiglass, Lexan, Hurricane Glass, tar and asphalt roofing, nails, light-gauge sheet metal, wire-reinforced belting, trees, and green wood.
- Plated Steel Splash Guard: Strong and durable, mounted with aviation-style star washers to prevent loosening due to vibration.
- Angle Full Wrap Handle: Angled ergonomic handle allows safe operation in any position and protects the saw from damage.
- One Step Start/Stop: Combined choke/throttle lock/stop switch eliminates flooding and allows fast, convenient starting and one-push positive stop, even with gloves.
Benefits of COBALT Alloy
COBALT alloy inserts at wear points provide excellent wear, galling, and impact resistance, retaining these properties even at very high operating temperatures. This ensures the guide bar remains durable and reliable under extreme conditions, enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the saw.
