utdoor power product manufacturer
Husqvarna introduces a new light top
handle chainsaw for professionals who
want maximum productivity with
minimum downtime.
The new T525 maintains a professional
level of engine performance packed into a
lower weight saw. This means improved
productivity, since power and performance
are not sacrificed for a lighter product.
Weighing a mere 2.7kg also means that
users are able to cut with less strain on
the body.
With quick acceleration built-in, pruning
can be done lightning quick, Husqvarna’s
signature X-TorqÒ engine ensures higher
power output, which means getting more
done with the same amount of fuel. X-TorqÒ
also means lower levels of exhaust
emissions, giving users a cleaner
environment to work in.
A spring-assisted start allows for lower
pull force, meaning less effort is required
to start the engine, which is a useful
addition when users are in a tree and it is
tricky to move. A side-mounted chain adjuster
is another feature that allows professionals to
adjust while working up a tree.
Easy maintenance solutions on the T525
come in the form of a quick release air filter,
flip up fuel tank caps and retained bar nuts.
These simple maintenance solutions make it

easy for users to maintain their products,
to decrease unnecessary downtime
or breakdowns.

THAT’S HOW WE ROLL
K
nauf Insulation has launched Ceiling
Roll (Multi Pack), a competitively
priced non-combustible insulation which
offers better thermal performance than PET
(polyester) insulation.
Ceiling Roll (Multi Pack) is a two-in-one
glass mineral wool insulation roll designed
to offer installers maximum flexibility. Each
pack provides a total length of 27m. This
can be achieved by splitting the roll,
without the need for tools, into two layers,
each 50mm deep.
Alternatively, the roll can be installed at
100mm depth to provide 13.5m of
insulation. The rolls can easily be cut to suit

space and have less fetching and carrying to
do around the job site.
