What happens here

The presenter moves on to cutting thicker sections of the fallen tree trunk, some of which exceed the saw's 6-inch bar length and the recommended 3-inch cutting capacity. He demonstrates cutting through these larger logs by making successive cuts from opposing sides. He notes the saw's unexpected power and ability to handle such demanding tasks for its size. Throughout these cuts, he also reiterates the importance of using two hands for stability and safety, even though the tool's lightweight nature might make one-handed operation tempting.

Goal: Showcase the saw's capability to cut through thicker tree trunks.

i wasn't expecting much this is way better than i was expecting now this is officially called the m12 hatchet six inch pruning saw and it's designed to cut up to three inch hardwoods so let's try it on something bigger and wetter right away you can feel that it's very light and very well balanced making it really comfortable to operate now even though it's not designed to cut this i know some of you are probably thinking can it do it so let's find out now according to milwaukee's safety sheet they do want you to use two hands anytime you're running this thing but it's so light it's really easy to forget grab it with one hand grab the branch with the other hand and just call it [Applause]
