The Husqvarna hedgecutter is available in two versions: the 545 and 555 models with the FX and FTX indexes. The T index stands for Cold Temperature and Handheld Heated.

The principle of operation of the Husqvarna brushcutters

The engine, located at the rear of the device and powered by gasoline, transfers the rotation of the cylinders to the shaft using a gearbox.

The approach provides rotation speeds of up to 13,000 rpm, which makes it easy to cut small bushes.
