Dust management, ergonomics showcased in Husqvarna’s offerings

 

Dust management is a focus of Husqvarna’s technology approach, says Jim Davitz, product manager for power cutters and diamond tooling. In addition to meeting emissions regulations, the company says its dust control strategy also greatly improves the operator’s experience.

During a May event, Husqvarna introduced several products, all offering dust management systems, and a range of ergonomic and ease-of-use features such as vibration isolation, water containment systems and easy transportability.
