SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the chain is worn out and should be replaced.

General advice on setting raker clearance

•When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the raker clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal cutting performance you must file back the raker lip to the recommended height.

•On a low-kickback cutting link the front edge of the raker lip is rounded. It is very important that you maintain this radius or bevel when you adjust the raker clearance.

•We recommend that you use our raker gauge to achieve the correct clearance and bevel on the raker lip.

WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased

!if the raker clearance is too large!

Setting the raker clearance

•Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth should be newly sharpened.

We recommend that you adjust the raker clearance every third time you sharpen the chain. NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.

•To adjust the raker clearance you will need a flat file and a raker gauge.

•Place the gauge over the raker lip.

•Place the file over the part of the lip that protrudes through the gauge and file off the excess. The clearance is correct when you no longer feel any resistance as you draw the file over the gauge.

Tensioning the chain

WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and

!cause serious or even fatal injury.

•The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the slack.

•Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A new chain has a running-in period during which you should check the tension more frequently.

•Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.

•

-Undo the bar nut.

-Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw clockwise using the combination spanner. The chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the bar.

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.
