192362 specifications

The Poulan 192362 is a versatile and durable outdoor power tool designed for homeowners and landscaping professionals alike. Known for its reliability and efficiency, this model stands out in the realm of chain saws, catering to a variety of cutting tasks, from trimming branches to felling trees.

One of the main features of the Poulan 192362 is its powerful engine, typically featuring a 42cc two-stroke engine that provides ample power for demanding jobs while ensuring the tool remains lightweight and manageable. This balance between power and weight makes it particularly appealing to users who require both performance and ease of use.

Equipped with a 16-inch bar and a low-profile chain, the Poulan 192362 facilitates smooth and efficient cutting. The length of the bar is ideal for handling a wide range of cutting applications, making it suitable for residential and light commercial use. The low-profile chain not only enhances cutting performance but also reduces kickback, improving safety during operation.

In terms of technology, the Poulan 192362 is designed with user comfort in mind. It features an ergonomic handle that provides a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during prolonged use. Additionally, the tool incorporates anti-vibration technology, which further enhances user comfort by minimizing the vibrations transferred from the engine to the user’s hands.

Another notable characteristic of the Poulan 192362 is its easy-start technology. This system allows for quick and easy starting, even in colder conditions, significantly reducing the hassle often associated with starting two-stroke engines. Moreover, the inclusion of an adjustable automatic chain oiler ensures that the chain remains lubricated during operation, thereby extending its life and ensuring optimal performance.

Maintenance and safety are priorities for this model, as evidenced by features like the inertia-activated chain brake, which halts the chain in the event of sudden movements. This safety measure protects the operator from potential accidents, making the Poulan 192362 a smart choice for users concerned about safety during cutting tasks.

Overall, the Poulan 192362 combines power, efficiency, and safety, making it a reliable tool for any outdoor cutting needs. Its blend of features and user-friendly technologies make it an excellent choice for those seeking a robust chain saw that meets both professional and residential demands.
