Guidelines For Using A Pruning Pole Saw

By Carolyn Hill


There are three options available that you can go for when wanting to cut a thick vine and cannot access it when on the land using a saw. The options include pruning using a ladder, calling a professional and using a pruning pole saw.

When using the pole saw for the first time, you need to know all the precautions that you should follow to avoid any accidents. Listed below are the guidelines that you should follow before you start using the pole saw to cut down the tall trees.

One thing that you should consider is that the experts will make use of ropes when they are cutting down trees so that it lands safely. However, when you opt to do the work on your own this might not be the case. Thus, this might lead to the tree dropping in an unsafe manner. You should ensure that you do not work on trees that are close to any power lines. Accessing trees that are thick and more than eight feet might prove to be very tiring as they need more work and at times, the use of extensions might be necessary.

Before proceeding with the procedure, first clean the working area. Prohibit any entry into the area due to the hazards involved in the task example falling wood. You also need to inspect the area for hazards that can be removed as well as those that cannot example tree roots. It is essential to have these factors in mind. When anything goes wrong, quickly run to safety.

You need to plan on the areas that need to be cut before you start the job. You might be needed to make a jump cut that helps to decrease the weight of the tree. Jump cuts work by cutting the base of the tree using a saw. You may be required to cut off the branches to reduce the load.

Another tip is positioning of the saw. Ensure that the saw is in a vertical position by use of both hands. You should pause to have control of the tools weight. After this step, you should readjust you saw to where you want to make a cut. During a jump cut, the weight of the saw can rest on the branches.

Your position is another important issue to look at. Ensure that you are in a position where you can hold your weight comfortably. The saw should not be looked direct down or up towards you. It is advisable to lengthen the pole to make the right adjustments. You should start a grove in the branches that will later guide you. When making the first strokes, the saw may slip sideways. When it slips, you should reposition it before continuing. You should be careful when making the final cut.

The final and most important thing that you should do is cleaning the area after you are done. Collect all the branches and tree stems before going on so that you avoid any accidents from happening. All these are the things that you should know when using a pole saw. In case you are not confident that you can use the tool, always seek the help of an expert to help you.
