Cutting Branches
Ornamental and fruit trees are a valuable asset in any garden and greatly add to the overall design. Although in most cases regular pruning is not necessary, there will be times when some basic pruning work needs to be done. The removal of lower branches that get in the way of mowing, branches over-hanging paths and driveways and cutting out the tops of trees to restrict their height are things you may need to do from time to time.
The Sabre Saw/Pruning Accessory is perfect for all types of tree pruning. The battery pack allows you the freedom to work anywhere in the garden without trailing electric cables. The lightweight telescopic pole can also be extended to give a maximum pruning height of 3m, meaning you can work safely with your feet firmly on the ground.
Where heavier pruning of lower branches is needed or for cutting logs an electric chainsaw can be used.
It is essential to use a method of cutting whereby you cut the bottom of the branch first and then finish the cut from the top, avoiding tearing the remaining tree or bark. A badly cut branch not only looks awful but is also an open invitation for disease and pests that can damage and even kill the tree or bush.
The new Flymo Sabre Saw has been designed for effective and easy pruning of trees and bushes. It's fully extendable pole allows you to reach branches up to 3 metres high with a chainsaw cutting action pruner. The pruner has a safety anti-kickback device that allows you to safely cut under and over a branch to avoid harming the remaining tree.
