A saw mounted on a long pole, usually for pruning trees
A polesaw (also pole saw or giraffe saw ) is a
saw attached to a pole or long handle that is used for
pruning tree branches that are beyond arm's reach.
[1]
[2] A polesaw allows its user to cut high branches without the use of a ladder.
[3] Polesaws can be manual or motorized.
A polesaw is common equipment for
phone- and powerline workers to prune tree limbs entangled with
overhead cables , but the physical nature of the work can be a source of
musculoskeletal injuries .
