Petrol Pole Saws: Telescopic Saws for Tree Pruning

Petrol Pole Saws: Telescopic Saws for Tree Pruning

Petrol Pole Saws

A detailed buying guide: how to choose a petrol trimmer, brushcutter, hedge trimmer and pole pruner.

This section covers petrol pole saws — tools with a small chainsaw on the end of a long, often telescopic shaft that let you cut high tree branches from the ground without a ladder. They are used for pruning orchards and fruit trees, maintaining parks and streets, and clearing branches near power lines and buildings. The internal-combustion engine gives full autonomy and power on large sites with no cable or charging. The category suits home gardeners, farmers and landscaping services.

What to consider when choosing a petrol pole saw

Type and purpose

A dedicated pole saw is designed for pruning only, while models with a fixed or telescopic shaft differ in reach and weight. Household models suit a private garden, professional ones are built for all-day work. See what motor tools and engine-powered equipment are and how to choose them.

Engine displacement, power and type

Pole saw engines are usually 25–35 cm³ with 0.7–1.5 kW (1–2 hp) of power. Two-stroke engines are light and powerful, while four-stroke engines are quieter and more economical but heavier. Read differences between two-stroke, four-stroke and diesel engines and engine displacement, power, torque and RPM: how to compare engine-powered equipment.

Bar length and chain

Pole saw bars are usually 25–30 cm long, which is enough for branches up to 15–20 cm thick. Check the chain pitch, drive-link gauge and whether automatic chain oiling is provided. More details: how to choose a chainsaw bar and chain: length, pitch and gauge.

Reach and telescopic shaft

Shaft length is usually 1.8–3 m, and together with the operator's height the working reach is 2.5–4 m. A telescopic shaft adjusts the length to the branch height, while a split shaft makes transport easier. See how to use a chainsaw safely.

Starting, fuel and mix

A manual recoil starter is standard, while an easy-start system and primer bulb reduce the effort. Two-stroke engines run on a petrol and oil mix, usually at 1:40 or 1:50. Read fuel, engine oil and two-stroke mix: how to choose and use them correctly.

Weight, balance and harness

Petrol pole saws usually weigh 6–9 kg, and the weight feels heavier at the end of the shaft. A shoulder harness, anti-vibration system and rubberised handles reduce arm fatigue. See how to choose work gloves.

Noise and protective equipment

Petrol engine noise reaches 100 dB or more, and sawdust and branches fall from above. Work with safety glasses, a helmet and ear protection. Read how to choose safety glasses and how to choose hearing protection.

Safe operation and maintenance

Do not work near power lines, never stand under the branch being cut and hold the tool with both hands. Clean the air filter regularly, sharpen the chain and drain the fuel tank before long-term storage. See how to safely use internal-combustion-engine tools and equipment and how to maintain and store motor tools and engine-powered equipment.

Spare parts

Check that a spark plug, air and fuel filters, a starter, chains and bars are available for the model. Models with common bar and chain sizes are easier to maintain. Read how to choose spare parts for gasoline and diesel engines.

At ToolsArmenia you can compare petrol pole saws by engine displacement, bar length, shaft reach, weight and starting system and choose the right model for your garden.
