9 best pole saw for the money

Product description

The safest way to keep your trees looking sharp, the Worx 10” – 8A Electric Pole Saw is a well-balanced chainsaw that you can easily hoist in the air. Or, take off the pole and use it for regular chainsaw projects down on the ground. It’s got a lot of bite for a 10” bar, and plenty of modern features that make it easy to use. With a 28 ft/s chain speed and advanced auto lubrication and tensioning systems, you’ll always have a powerful saw at your disposal. The oil level window lets you know when you’ll need to refill. And the auto tension knob will never let you turn too far to potentially damage the chainch This ergonomically engineered pole saw features a handle that rotates 180° so you can turn the whole saw on its side without having to turn your body. The pole attaches and detaches easily. The handguard protects you from falling debris. And an off/on switch on the bottom of the pole lets you start or stop the saw without bringing it up and down repeatedly. This is an electric chainsaw, so you don’t have to worry about all the downsides of gas-powered tools: This saw will be less expensive to run and maintain, cleaner for both you and the environment, and much quieter. This is 2 saws for the price of one. Plus, it’s the safer way to trim your branches.

• UP HIGH OR DOWN LOW: It’s really 2-tools-in-1: A pole saw for trimming branches from trees, and a regular chainsaw for projects on the ground
• POWERFUL MOTOR: At 8 Amps, you’ll get consistent performance and reliability from this streamlined machine
• AUTO CHAIN LUBRICATION: The automatic oiler will always have the chain operating at peak efficiency, for faster, more controlled cuts

• AUTO CHAIN TENSION: This system prevents over-tightening, keeps the chain running smoothly around the bar, and places less stress on the motor
• TOOL-LESS INSTALLATION: The pole attaches quickly and offers up to 10 feet of reach, so you don’t have to stand on a ladder to trim branches
• INCLUDES: 8 Amp 10” Chainsaw, 8-foot Extension Pole, Chain, Chain Bar, Blade Protection Cover

Product description

The Worx 10” – 20V Pole Saw takes the compact and lightweight standard Worx 20V Chainsaw and attaches a pole for up to 12 feet of reach so you can trim away problematic tree limbs.

The handle at the bottom of the pole features an on/off switch, so you don’t have to constantly raise and lower the chainsaw just to turn it on and off. The battery attaches at the base of the pole, when connected, for easy switch out when you need to recharge. And it snaps into the saw itself when you’re using it independently. Oh, did we forget to mention that this 2-in-1 works on the ground just as well as it does in the air? The pole comes off easily without the need for any tools, and you get a fully functional chainsaw to chop up fallen branches and the like on the ground. The auto-tension and auto-lubrication systems keep the tool and the chain in peak condition every time you use it.

• COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT: The saw itself weighs only 10 pounds You’ll work longer, with less strain on your hands, arms, back, and legs

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this model compatible with the Dewalt hedge trimmer head
Answer:	I don't know. I just bought a new chain once the old one got dull. $15
Question:	Does this particular model dcps620b cone with a sheath cover? i.e. a chain/bar cover
Answer:	No, it doesn't come with oil. Ignore the guy who says it does and the ambiguous answer dude. I had to run to our local hardware store to buy it the last minute.
Question:	how much power does this unit have? Can it cut thru thick branches
Answer:	Move out of California, Hell in Florida you can practically get this thing with a shotgun strapped to it shipped right to your door. Ha ha just kidding. Really, I know it's getting impossible to get gas powered lawn equipment in CA but this should be just what the tree huggers want you to use... oh wait, I just answered the question. Stop trying to hurt the trees.
Question:	Is the combined length of pole and saw actually
Answer:	We used this item for a couple of projects after which the chain was loose. Falling off the bar. The instructions are very unclear and there is no clear way to adjust the position of the bar to tighten the chain. The adjustment knob will not do it as I tightened it as much as I could. After playing around with it I managed to tightened the chain but do not think it will last. This problem is a design flaw with this item.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can a Center extension piece be ordered? I snapped the one that came with my saw
Answer:	I can't tell you for sure if it's compatible but I do have the dewalt drill the saw and the impact driver and the batteries are interchangeable
Question:	Does this include a battery and charger
Answer:	It does not. The part number for the sheath cover is N656402.
Question:	Is the pole length adjustable? What is the minimum length
Answer:	Make first cut 6" (152 mm) from tree trunk on underside of limb. Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb. Then make the finish cut from the top. If you try to cut off thick branches from the bottom, the branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the cut. If you try to cut off thick branches from the top, without a shallow undercut, the branch may splinter. Do not force pole saw. The motor will overload and can burn out.
Question:	Can the saw be operated alone, like the Worx saw, the pole can be taken out, so the saw can be used as a "chain saw
Answer:	It seems to be the pole length is 10 ft, plus your reach

User questions & answers

Question:	How long does it take to charge the battery ? How long does the battery last
Answer:	I would say my battery's charge in 2 to 6 hours depending on how low you run them. a battery will make any where from 20 to 40 cuts depending on what your cutting how hard the wood.
Question:	chain stops moving as soon as it touches the surface of the tree & doesn't cut. chain is not too tight and isn't backwards. any ideas why
Answer:	Not sure...will have to see how I can dampen mine to replicate this...however, while cutting way high in the tree on hard oak...mine would stop, I would pull it up, then start it and resume cutting, but after these sudden stops I changed batteries...mine tends to cut off when battery life is low...be sure you start with full charge. Otherwise I will have to google this problem for other ideas. I will clean and sharpen the unit with a battery so I can move the chain while spraying with DW40...or any bike chain lube....
Question:	I cut 7 to 8 branches, then the chain came off
Answer:	It is very common for a new chain to 'stretch' a bit more than during typical use. However, all chains will loosen up with use. Mine fell off 3 times the first day (30-40 branches, some large), until I got the feel of how tight it should be and it has been great since. Don't forget to oil it too.
Question:	Can i purchase additional extensions
Answer:	The correct extension part for this device is 90556251, $25.33 from ereplacementparts.

Question:	How do you tighten the chain? Thanks
Answer:	NJ, Thank you for your question. There is a chain tension blot located in the front of the saw next to the bar, you will tighten the chain from there. Scotts Outdoor Power Tools

Answer:	No leakage of resivior is less than 1/2 full & cap is tight( but not too tight , it is just plastic) when stored.
