Precautions When Using A Pruning Saw

There are a few precautions you need to take when using a pruning saw

• Use protective gear including gloves and eye protection.
• Before starting the cut, make sure there are no nails or screws in the wood.
• Make sure the blade is sharp before starting the cut. If there is any rust, clean it using steel wool or sandpaper. Apply oil on the blade.
• When you start, make a groove in the wood. So once you start cutting, the blade does not shift.
• When cutting, let the blade do the work. Don’t apply a lot of pressure on the saw.
• After the cutting is done, put the blade in the protective scabbard. Keep it in a safe place away from children.

Cutting A Branch With A Pruning Saw

• To cut a branch using the pruning saw, you’ll need to use the three-cut method to avoid damaging the tree.
• First, make a cut underneath the branch about a foot from the base of the branch. Stop when the pruning saw cuts 1/3rd into the branch.
• Second make a cut at the top of the branch about 1 or two inches further from the first cut. This cut makes the branch fall off without ripping the bark and damaging the tree.
• Third make the final cut through the branch where you want to prune the branch.
