The Husqvarna 440 is a 40.9-cc, 18-inch gas chainsaw built as an all-around workhorse for homeowners and light property work. Its 2.4-HP X-Torq engine delivers solid torque with lower emissions and fuel use than older two-stroke designs, and the slim body keeps it manageable for limbing and felling small trees. Smart Start, combined choke/stop control and Air Injection reduce the usual gas-saw friction of hard pulls and frequent filter cleaning. Against pro-grade saws it gives up power and displacement, but it is easier to live with than a budget no-name saw and lighter than most 50-cc class rivals.

Owners generally rate the 440 as a reliable, easy-starting homeowner saw that punches above its displacement for limbing and small felling. Complaints center on it being outmatched in large timber and on the usual gas-saw upkeep.
The Husqvarna 440 is an 18 inch gas chainsaw with a 40.9-cc, 2.4-HP X-Torq engine. It has a slimmer saw body and is built for easy starting. It is used for tree cutting and landscaping work.
Smart Start makes starting easier, and a combined choke and stop control reduces the risk of engine flooding. The side-mounted tensioning system is positioned for easy slack adjustments. An inertia-activated chain brake reduces the likelihood of injury from kickback.
LowVib technology reduces vibration levels, which lessens operator fatigue. Air Injection, a centrifugal air cleaning system, removes larger dust and debris particles before they reach the air filter. The engine runs on Husqvarna 2-stroke lubricant mixed at 50:1.
