SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

-Use the combination spanner to tighten the blade nut while holding up the tip of the bar. Check that you can pull the saw chain round freely by hand.

Lubricating cutting equipment

WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting

!equipment may cause the chain to snap, which could lead to serious, even fatal injuries.

Chain oil

•Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.

•As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an optimal chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for both maximum chain life and to minimise environmental damage.

•If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is recommended.

•In areas where oil specifically for lubrication of saw chains is unavailable, ordinary EP 90 transmission oil may be used.

•Never use waste oil! This is dangerous for yourself, the machine and the environment.

Filling with chain oil

The oil pump is preset at the factory to meet most lubrication requirements. A full oil tank will last about half as long as a full tank of fuel. You should therefore check the level of oil in the oil tank regularly to avoid damage to the saw chain and bar that could occur due to lack of lubrication.

Checking chain lubrication

•Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel.

Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.

Adjusting chain lubrication

When cutting dry or hard species of wood it may be necessary to increase lubrication. To adjust the oil flow, first undo screw (A) then turn the adjuster screw (B) anticlockwise. Re-tighten screw (A). Remember that this will increase the oil consumption and you should therefore check the level in the oil tank more frequently.

What to do if lubrication does not work:

•Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed. Clean if necessary.

•Check that the oil channel in the gear housing is clean. Clean if necessary.

•Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely. If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying out the above checks you should contact your service workshop.

Checking wear on cutting equipment

Chain

Check the chain daily for:

•Visible cracks in rivets and links.

•Whether the chain is stiff.

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. With user-friendly features and advanced technologies, these tools are ideal for anyone seeking an efficient and reliable solution for overhead cutting projects.
