STARTING AND STOPPING

Check before starting

•Inspect the working area. Remove any objects that could be thrown out.

•Check the cutting attachment. Never use blunt, cracked or damaged equipment.

•Check that the machine is in perfect working order. Check that all nuts and screws are tight.

•Make sure the chain is adequately lubricated. See instructions under the heading Lubricating the cutting attachment.

•Check that the cutting attachment always stops when the engine is idling.

•Only use the machine for the purpose it was intended for.

•Make sure that the handle and safety features are in good working order. Never use a machine that lacks a part or has been modified outside its specifications.

Starting and stopping

WARNING! The complete clutch cover and

!shaft must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injury.

Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting. Place the machine on a flat surface. Ensure the cutting attachment cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure no unauthorised persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury. The safety distance is 15 metres.

Cold engine

Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position.

Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.

Air purge: Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The diaphragm need not be completely filled.

Warm engine

Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine but without setting the choke control in the choke position. The correct choke/start throttle setting is obtained by moving the choke control to the choke position and then pushing it in again.

Stopping

Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.

WARNING! When the engine is started with the choke in the choke or start position the cutting attachment starts to rotate immediately.

Starting

Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!).

Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.

Push the choke control back to its original position as soon as the engine fires, and continue trying to start until the engine starts. When the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle to automatically disengage the start throttle setting.

CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine. Also take care to ensure that the cutting attachment is not touching the ground when you start the machine.

323P4, 325P5 specifications

The Husqvarna 323P4 and 325P5 are innovative, high-performance pole saws designed for both professional and residential users, providing exceptional cutting efficiency and versatility in managing tree branches and high-reaching foliage. These models represent the latest advancements in outdoor power tools, combining robust engines with ergonomic designs for maximum user comfort and performance.

The Husqvarna 323P4 features a 25.4cc, 2-stroke engine, delivering the power and reliability needed for more demanding cutting tasks while maintaining a lightweight design. This pole saw has a reach of up to 12 feet, making it ideal for trimming and pruning high branches without the need for ladders. Equipped with a 10-inch cutting bar, the 323P4 ensures clean and precise cuts, allowing users to tackle branches with ease.

On the other hand, the Husqvarna 325P5 ups the ante with a more powerful 27.6cc engine, offering enhanced cutting performance and efficiency. With a slightly longer reach, this model supports a telescopic pole that can extend up to 15 feet, introducing more flexibility for users needing to access higher heights. Like the 323P4, the 325P5 features a 10-inch cutting bar, ensuring consistent cutting performance on even thicker branches.

Both models are equipped with advanced technologies to enhance user experience. Husqvarna’s X-Torq engine technology reduces harmful emissions and improves fuel efficiency, allowing users to work longer without frequent refueling. Additionally, the automatic oiler ensures continuous lubrication of the cutting bar and chain, reducing friction and extending the life of the tool.

Ergonomics play a crucial role in the design of these pole saws. The lightweight construction, combined with a balanced design, minimizes user fatigue, particularly during extended use. The adjustable telescoping pole enables users to customize the saw's length, ensuring comfort while maintaining control during operation.

Moreover, both models feature a built-in safety switch and a comfortable grip to enhance user safety and comfort. These features ensure greater control while minimizing the risk of accidental starts.

In summary, the Husqvarna 323P4 and 325P5 pole saws exemplify cutting-edge engineering, delivering powerful performance and ease of use to tackle various trimming tasks.
