Tool Tuesday: Echo Battery Pole Saw Honest Review
What happens here
The presenter demonstrates the proper technique for safely cutting tree limbs using the pole saw. For hanging limbs, he first makes an 'undercut' about halfway or three-quarters through the bottom of the branch. He then moves the saw slightly back and makes a 'top cut' from above, allowing the limb to fall cleanly without pinching the saw blade. This technique is applied to both smaller branches and larger, hazardous 'widow maker' limbs. He advises against fully extending the pole saw if not necessary for balance and control, suggesting to keep it at a comfortable length.
Goal: Safely remove tree limbs using proper cutting techniques.
