Tempest VentMaster Chainsaw

The VentMaster® 572-HD Fire/Rescue chainsaw delivers the absolute best in cutting performance and is designed and built specifically for the fire service. Using professional level Husqvarna® power heads and exclusive Tempest components, no other saw compares in durability, reliability, cutting performance and cutting versatility. 

X-TORQ Engine
Husqvarna® power heads increase torque over a wider RPM range for maximum cutting power. With larger displacement, best fuel economy in its class, higher peak power, 20% more torque and even better ergonomics all combine for maximum productivity.

Air-Injection, Centrifugal Force Air Cleaning System
Eliminates need for expensive external aftermarket filters! Preliminary air intake cleans & rejects 97% of cutting residue and other airborne debris including drywall dust, concrete dust, smoke and even water spray! Cleaner intake air means longer intervals between filter cleanings, longer runs at full power, less chain damage, smoother operation and reduced internal engine wear.

Sealed & Protected Carburetor/Air Filter Compartment
The air filter cannot be crushed or lost and the “tool-less” compartment entry provides for easy access to spark plug, air filter, and inspection/cleaning of cylinder cooling fins. 35% better engine cooling due to cover design in relation to cooling fan design.

One Step Start/Stop
Combined Choke/Throttle Lock/Stop Switch eliminates flooding and allows fast, convenient starting and one push positive stop even with gloves!

Raptor Carbide Chain
Engineered to withstand the rigors of fire and rescue operations. Features an "open dual raker" design to protect the carbide cutters and control the depth of cut. Tough enough to cut through tar and asphalt roofing, nails, light-gauge sheet metal and wire-reinforced belting, the carbide tips are versatile enough to cut trees and green wood.

VentMaster COBALT Guide Bar
Features COBALT alloy inserts at the wear points. This alloy is extremely hard with excellent wear, galling, and impact resistance. It will retain these properties at very high operating temperatures.

Tool-Less "KIS-40" Depth Gauge
Fast, simple installation and removal, and no need to "roll the rafters" with the patented KIS-40 Depth Gauge. Accurately control cutting depth, protect operator and safely speed cut using this accessory.

Plated Steel Splash Guard
Strong and durable to protect the saw during extreme cutting. Mounted with aviation-style star washers to prevent loosening due to vibration.
