As a general rule, the cutting bar or blade should be at least 2 inches larger than the branch diameter you’re cutting.

The length of the cutting bar (on gas and electric pole saws) or blade (on manual pole saws) dictates the size of the branch you can cut. Manual pole saws are most often used for light- to mid-duty operations and excel at making clean and precise cuts. Manual pole saws have a long pruning blade attached at one end of the pole that uses the manual sawing effort of the operator. The battery or power cord and trigger switch are located on the operator end, and the motor is adjacent to the chainsaw head. Gas engine pole saws are heavy-duty machines capable of several hours of hard work sawing off limbs, even up to the saw head’s full working diameter.Įlectric pole saws are light- or mid-duty machines (call an arborist for bigger jobs). At the other end of the pole, the drive shaft turns a small chainsaw head. In gas-powered models, the power head is at the operator end and turns a drive shaft that runs the length of the pole.
Furthermore, electric pole saws can either use a battery or a power cord that plugs into a standard electrical outlet. Pole Saw Power: Gas, Electric, or ManualĪ pole saw can run on gas fuel, electricity, or manual effort. My work has appeared in Bob Villa, The Family Handyman, and The Spruce.
