- Easy to handle: lightweight body and 14 inch bar make it manageable for first-time chainsaw users.
- Good domestic power: 38.2cc petrol engine gives useful cutting performance for logs, branches and garden jobs.
- Lower vibration: LowVib® dampers help reduce strain on hands and arms during use.
- Cleaner running: X-Torq® engine technology is designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

When to choose a larger chainsaw

Key features explained
X-Torq® 38.2cc petrol engine
The 38.2cc two-stroke X-Torq® engine gives the Husqvarna 120 Mark II enough power for typical domestic chainsaw work while helping reduce fuel use and exhaust emissions compared with older engine designs.
14 inch guide bar
The 14 inch bar gives a good balance of cutting reach and control. It is particularly suitable for logs, branches and small trees where a compact, manageable saw is easier and safer to use than an oversized machine.
Air Injection™ filter cleaning system
Husqvarna’s Air Injection™ system helps remove larger dust and debris particles before they reach the air filter, reducing maintenance and helping the engine run reliably.
LowVib® anti-vibration system
LowVib® dampers reduce vibration transfer to the handles, making the saw more comfortable to use during firewood cutting and longer garden jobs.
Inertia-activated chain brake
The chain brake is an important safety feature designed to stop the chain quickly if kickback occurs. Correct protective equipment and safe working technique are still essential.
