Manual Pole Saw Components

Pruner has two sections. One is a blade, and the other one is a pole. The blades are two types on each saw- little pruner and long saw. The little pruner is extensively used to cut small branches and to pluck the fruits from the trees.

While the long saw is used to cut tall branches in the trees from Ground. It also has extendable poles so that you can make the saw long or short as per your requirement.

Blades

To cut the branches accurately, you need an excellent blade cutting capacity in a pole saw. And the blade has to get adjusted with the poles.

This needs to be checked thoroughly, or else it will be difficult for the user while handling. Similarly, based on the product brand and model, the extension of the pole saw may vary.
