For tough to reach pruning jobs, the ideal machines are professional pruning chain saws, which provide the perfect blend of power, lightweight construction and easy handling. Equipped with a top handle, they are ideal for professional pruning operations and other precision work, such as grafting or surgery carried out on wounded or diseased plants.

For lopping and trimming overhead, or wherever there is uneven or sloping ground to contend with a pruner is best. Thanks to a telescopic pole, cuts can be made up to 16 feet above ground, even on the highest branches. The saw itself is adjustable through intermediate angular settings from 0 to 90 degrees.
