DESCRIPTIONThe long reach chainsaw is intended for safely cutting and trimming trees which are out of reach of the ordinary chain saw. The powerful hydraulic drive motor can easily make cuts of 12 inch diameter from the ground or an aerial bucket. With an overall length of 88.5 inches, the operator is easily able to reach the areas not possible with a standard chain saw. The dielectric property of the fiberglass extension tube will reduce the chance of electric shock when used near an energized electric line. Other features include a trigger guard to prevent accidental movement of the chain, a covered sprocket guard, and a rubber collar hand stop. A quick set spool can be turned 180 degrees for closed center/open center operations.
