The Major Features Of An Electric Pole Saw

By Lou Mullen


The moving part of the electric pole saw is a self lubricated chain saw. The other part is an extension that supports the chain. Different electric saws have differently sized poles. This cutting device is fast, powerful and light.

The 12 inch saw of this tool must be lubricated regularly. Lubrication keeps moving parts in top condition. When moving parts are not lubricated, they will rust and this will interfere with the performance of a machine. Apart from lubrication, other maintenance activities need to be carried out on a mechanical device.

Lubrication is one maintenance exercise all machines require. Other maintenance exercises include inspection and servicing. The servicing job should be outsourced to a reputable firm that offers affordable rates. Most reputable firms employ experienced professionals who will easily identify machine problems.

The chainsaw used should be as sharp as possible. With a sharp chain, carrying out the pruning activity will involve less effort. A sharp chain is safest to use as it decreases chances of injuries and accidents. One can sharpen the chains all by himself or by taking the chain to a professional for sharpening. The latter option is the best. A professional has all the needed tools required to sharpen a chain.

The extension used has to be long so that the tool can reach maximum height. One will time and again be required to prune branches located in top most parts of trees. Pruning these branches will take less time if the tool used has a long extension. The extension used should not only be long but it should also be light.

Generally, many tree cutting machines are not heavy. A heavy machine cannot be lifted up and sustained skywards by human effort. Human effort can only sustain a light weight cutting device skywards. The color of a cutting device also plays a huge role in the pruning process. Dull colored devices will not be noticeable from the ground. However, those having bright colors will be easily noticed from the ground levels. There should be proper eye and hand co-ordination during the pruning process. Such co-ordination will only be possible if all movements of the machine can be properly viewed. To avoid accidents, safety measures must be put in place.

A self lubricated chainsaw is one of the parts of an electric pole saw. Another part is the extension. Extended poles are the ones used with these saws. An extension that can extend for more than fourteen feet will accomplish much. Simple pruning of easily accessible branches will need poles that extend only up to eight feet.
