Tempest 565HD VentMaster Fire Rescue Chainsaw

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

The VentMaster® 565-HD fire rescue chainsaws deliver the absolute best in cutting performance, built specifically for the fire service. Using professional-level Husqvarna® powerheads and Tempest exclusive after-market parts, no other saw compares in durability, reliability, cutting performance, and cutting versatility. Our fire rescue saws use the X-TORQ Engine Husqvarna® powerhead which increases torque over a wider RPM range for maximum cutting power. Our fire rescue chainsaws offer larger displacement, best fuel economy in its class, higher peak power, 20% more torque, and even better ergonomics for maximum productivity.

SEALED & PROTECTED CARBURETOR/AIR FILTER

35% better engine cooling due to cover design in relation to cooling fan design. Air Filter cannot be crushed or lost. Tool-less compartment entry for easy access to spark plug, air filter, inspection and cleaning of cylinder cooling fins. Greatly reduces filter clogs.

TOOL-LESS “KIS-40” DEPTH GAUGE

Accurately control cutting depth, protect operator and safely speed cut. Fast, simple installation and removal, and eliminates the need to “roll the rafters”.

VENTMASTER® COBALT GUIDE BAR

Extremely hard COBALT alloy inserts at the wear points provide excellent wear, galling, and impact resistance. Retains these properties even at very high operating temperatures.

CENTRIFUGAL FORCE AIR CLEANING SYSTEM

Preliminary air intake cleaning rejects 97% of cutting residue and other airborne debris including drywall dust, concrete dust, smoke, water spray and more. Cleaner intake air means longer intervals between filter cleanings, longer runs at full power, less chain damage, smoother operation and reduced internal engine wear.
