In this video, I will show you how to use an electric pole saw on a ladder – the safe way.

First, you should assemble the parts of your pole saw in a precise manner. Moreover, adjust the chain tension in the pole saw and the height depending on your needs.

Then, you should get a quality ladder that is sturdy and has a good base. Place it on the tree in a way it is making an angle of 75-degree with the ground.

Further, if possible, try to keep an assistant with you to hold the ladder before you climb.

Place the pole saw in the intended tree branch and start with the cutting or pruning operation. If the branch is thin, you’ll be able to cut it in a single stroke.

For thicker branches, you will need to make 1 or 2-inch grooves and go for the jump-cut for removing the branch.

Additionally, avoid climbing too high on the ladder. If you’re on the lower end of the ladder, you can easily jump to the ground and protect yourself if anything goes wrong. If you climb too high, not only will you struggle to balance yourself, not only will it be awkward to position yourself and cut the branches, but you’ll also struggle to jump from that height as you’ll fear injuring yourself.
