Why Electric Pole Saws are Great for Trimming Trees
Battery Driven Electric Pole Saw
That’s because they are lightweight, easy to use, and can be used to trim branches at various heights without the need for a ladder.
And those are not the only benefits that electric pole saws can offer you. Let’s have a more in- depth look at the benefits of adding one of these versatile tools to your inventory.
Safety First Please
An electric pole saw reduces the need to climb up a ladder to reach the branches you want to trim.
Inevitably the ground around where the trimming needs to take place is not smooth and flat and so just climbing a ladder under these circumstances can be challenging in itself. And that’s before you even start trying to trim any branches.
An electrically driven pole-saw also eliminates the need to physically saw the branch off as you would need to do with a conventional manual pole saw. That eliminates your upper body having to rock backwards and forwards on often uneven ground which could be a recipe for disaster if you are not rock steady on your feet.
Not Physically Challenging to Use
With an electrical motor doing the sawing for you, trimming branches way above your head or at a distance out in front of you, becomes less physically taxing.
The electric motor also makes it easier for you to tackle branches that need to be approached on an angle or which are tucked away in a tight spot.
In all these cases you need to get the saw into position, but then the electric motor does the hard work for you.
Convenience & Efficiency
Having a ready-to-go tool available when you see an out of the way branch that needs lopping off just makes it so much easier to do. That simple fact makes it more likely that you will in fact get the job done now, rather than putting it on the back burner!
It is even more convenient when the pole saw is battery powered.
The electric powered motor also means that the job can be done quickly and with minimal physical effort. That’s efficiency!
Ease of Use
Electric pole saws are designed to be easy to use.
They are lightweight and require little effort to maneuver. This makes them ideal for people who don’t have the strength or stamina to use a manual or gas-powered saw.
Also, most electric pole saws have a longer reach than their manual saw counterparts and so you can get more done without having to climb a ladder.
Portability
Battery driven electric pole saws are very portable, which means that users can take them to different locations without having to worry about a supply of electricity. This makes them ideal to use in just about any location.
Versatility
Electric pole saws are versatile tools that can be used for a variety of tasks. They can be used to trim branches, prune trees, and even remove small trees.
Additionally, some electric pole saws are in fact a pole and a small chainsaw that can be separated and the chainsaw can also operate as a small hand-held chainsaw
Some pole saws also offer multiple head systems. In other words you can replace the saw head with (usually) a hedge trimmer head
There are Two Types of Electric Pole Saw
Just remember that there are 2 types of electrically driven pole saws. Those that are battery driven and those that need to be connected to an electrical supply via an extension cord.
They each have their pros and cons and you will need to weigh those up and come to a decision based on which you would think will work best for you.
