Additional notes:
- The 590 was part of the smaller professional Jonsered lineup of the late 1980s and is considered relatively uncommon today.
- It used a magnesium crankcase construction, making it more of a true pro-grade saw for its era.
- The saw shares some design language with other Swedish Jonsereds/Husqvarna models from the period, though it is its own platform rather than a direct rebadge.
