The Husqvarna 340 is a small gas chainsaw that was produced from 1998 to 2007. It’s not to be confused with the current battery-powered Husqvarna 340i.
Here’s how the 340 was described in 2004:
A versatile saw for part time users demanding high quality.
This saw has a slim and smooth body, superior power/weight ratio and one of the lowest vibration levels on the market. A new type of choke/stop button control makes it easy to start and stop. The environmentally-friendly oil pump stops the chain lubrication when idling.
