How to Use Fiskars Chain Drive Extendable Pole Saw
Fiskars Chain Drive Extendable Pole Saw is an incredibly versatile and efficient tool designed to make the task of trimming and pruning hard-to-reach branches easier with its extendable features. To use this pole saw effectively, start by extending the pole according to the desired length by unlocking and adjusting the secure double-locking system. This will enable you to reach high branches without the need for a ladder.
Before you begin cutting, ensure that you have a firm grip on the pole and that the saw blade is sharp enough for precise trimming. Position yourself at a suitable distance from the branch to maintain balance and control while using the saw.
Hold the pole saw at a comfortable angle and place the saw blade on the branch you wish to cut. Apply gentle, consistent pressure while pulling the blade towards you. The chain drive mechanism will help you maintain control and ensure smooth cuts without exerting too much effort.
During the process, make use of the hooked end of the blade to stabilize the branch and prevent it from slipping. Remember to pause and adjust your grip if needed, and always be mindful of your surroundings to avoid potential hazards.
Safety goggles and gloves are highly recommended to protect yourself from flying debris and potential injury. Once you have completed your pruning task, retract the pole, and clean the saw blade before storing the Fiskars Chain Drive Extendable Pole Saw in a secure and dry location for future use.
Efficiently Pruning High Branches with the Pole Saw
Maximizing the chain-drive design for 3x more power
To take full advantage of the chain-drive design, position yourself to exert force while making cuts. The 3x more power provided by the chain-drive system makes trimming thicker branches and limbs easier and more efficient.
Combining the saw and pruner for a complete tree trimming system
Utilize both the saw blade and steel pruner for effective tree pruning. Begin by trimming smaller branches with the steel pruner, followed by cutting larger limbs with the saw blade. This approach ensures a clean cut and helps minimize stress on the tree.
Using the oval-shaped pole to reduce flex and fit the natural shape of your hand
Maintain a firm grip on the oval-shaped pole, allowing it to fit the natural shape of your hand and provide better control during tree pruning. The reduced flex of the extendable pole enables precise cuts and efficient trimming.
Maintaining Your Fiskars Chain Drive Extendable Pole Saw for Durability
Caring for the saw blade and steel pruner
Ensure the longevity of your Fiskars Chain Drive Extendable Pole Saw by properly caring for the saw blade and steel pruner. Wipe them clean after each use and keep them sharp to maintain cutting efficiency.
Inspecting the fiberglass and aluminum pole
Regularly inspect the fiberglass and aluminum pole for signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, address them accordingly to maintain the pole’s integrity and durability.
Tips for ensuring the pole stays extended
To ensure the extendable pole remains in the desired position during use, properly lock and tighten it. The flip lock mechanism should be securely tightened for safe and efficient pruning.
