Key Features of the Husqvarna K 970 SmartGuard

SmartGuard Technology

Safety comes first. The SmartGuard feature is an extended blade guard that helps control the cutting zone. By reducing exposed blade area, it minimizes the risk of accidents, especially during overcuts or blade pinching.

For professionals, this means you can cut confidently — even in tricky conditions — while maintaining greater protection against unexpected kickback.

X-Torq® Engine: More Power, Less Emissions

The Husqvarna K 970 SmartGuard is powered by Husqvarna’s proven X-Torq® engine technology, delivering:

• High torque and power output

• Up to 75% reduction in exhaust emissions

• Up to 20% lower fuel consumption

The engine is optimized for heavy-duty use and keeps going strong shift after shift.

Active Air Filtration™

Dust is the enemy of any engine. The Husqvarna K 970 SmartGuard features an advanced three-stage Active Air Filtration™ system that allows for long service intervals, even in dusty environments.

Pair this with a dust-sealed starter and efficient cooling system, and you get a saw designed to keep running longer with less maintenance.
