1. Not Using the Right Saw Type - People often use the same saw
for all tasks, but choosing the right type of saw for the specific
branch size and type (e.g., fine-tooth saws for small, delicate
branches and coarse-tooth saws for larger branches) can significantly
improve cutting efficiency and prevent damage to both the plant and
the saw.
2. Applying Excessive Force - Many users think that applying
more force will make cutting easier, but this can actually lead to
blade breakage or uneven cuts. It’s better to let the saw do the work
at its own pace.
3. Ignoring Proper Cutting Angles - Cutting at the wrong angle
can not only make the job harder but also damage the branch and create
hazardous situations. It’s important to teach customers the proper
technique, such as undercutting first to prevent bark from tearing.
4. Failing to Maintain the Saw - A common oversight is not
keeping the saw clean and sharp. Saw blades should be cleaned of sap
and debris after each use and sharpened regularly to maintain
effectiveness and prolong the saw’s life.
5. Neglecting Safety Precautions - Not wearing appropriate
safety gear such as gloves and eye protection can lead to accidents.
Additionally, ensuring a stable stance and being aware of where the
cut branch will fall are crucial for safe operation.
