Tools used to Cut Tree

1. Shears for Lopping The lopping shear blade looks like as bypass pruning shear. Two long handles are attached with lopping shear that creates a heavy cutting pressure on the branch of the tree. You can cut branches up to 1.5 inches by lopping shear for this extra pressure.

2. Chain Saws for Slice Cutting You can easily eradicate larger branches by using chain saws. In a chain saw a chain spins automatically which is powered by gas or electricity. You can give a series of segment cut on the branch by the sharp teeth of chain saw. Again it can easily cut the whole branch. Use a safety dress at the time of working with a chain saw and don?t hold chain saw above your shoulder. It may cause severe injury to you.

3. Saw on the Pole There have no distinct difference between pole saw and pruning saw except it is mounted at the top of a pole. Pole saws are generally bulky and it is difficult to give a smooth cut by this tool. At the time of working with the pole saw you are bound to stand just below the branch you are going to cut. So, you have to move quickly after cutting it.

4. Using Hand Saws Hand saw is mostly used to cut small branches like 1 inch to 4 inches in diameter. This tool works well for little branches. For containing special teeth pole saw suits most for cutting larger twigs.
