User questions & answers

Question:	What is the wgt of the unit
Answer:	3.8 lb. without the saw. The saw add 0.55 lb.
Question:	How does one operate the shears part of the tool? On other products I see a squeeze handle at the base of the pole. Don't see one here
Answer:	The orange handle on the shaft slides up and down to work the shears. When the pole saw is fully expanded and the orange handle is out of reach, there is real strong nylonish-type cable attached to handle t pull for easy operation of the shears. I find that this gives me more flexibility in my posture which is important when using for extended periods of time. This particular Fiskars tool is awesome = in my opinion the best "medium duty" pole pruner, by far for these reasons. (1) It's FAR LIGHTER than other pole pruners; if you are going to be using a pole saw for more than 15-30 minutes at a time, you're gonna love this model (2) Very sharp, and like all Fiskars tools, the blade is made from quality metal that maintains a nice sharp edge. (3) THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE - there is no big "knobby thing or pulley set up on the end; this makes it lighter to use but also allows you to get into tighter spaces for finer detailing. (4) The telescoping mechanism works efficiently and very easily (5) One can position the angle of the shears for cleaner, better quality cuts.. I'm a professional botanist, gardening columnist and gardening instructor, and I highly recommend this pole pruner.
Question:	Where can I get a replacement strap for my Fiskars 9240 telescoping pruning stick
Answer:	I sent them a request for a replacement strap for my 9240 because it frayed at the end entering the pole when fully extended. I also sent a picture. To my surprise they sent me a new one. Not just the strap but a whole new pruner. Now that’s customer service and lifetime warranty at its best. Thanks Fiaksrs
Question:	What is the largest sized branch which can be cut with the pruning shear
Answer:	The pruner blades measure about 1-1/8" apart so it should do up to 1" as stated in the specs. I've cut about 3/4" branches with no issues.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this expand/collapse in size or is it a fixed height
Answer:	The trimmer is a fixed length. There is sleeve in the middle that will actuate the trimmer and a pull ring on the end that will also actuate the trimmer. I use it for trimming plants in my pond and have found it very handy.
Question:	What diameter branch can this cut through
Answer:	They claim up to 1/2 inch, but 3/8 inch is limit for harder woods. 3/8 green wood is no problem. Love this tool. Can trip most of my trees without ladder.
Question:	I cannot figure out how this works. Do you need to use two hands to operate it
Answer:	You need two hands- the central handle actuates the blades (you slide it toward the bottom), while your second hand would hold the bottom; or you would put both hands at the bottom- one on the handle wrapped around and the other pulling the ring at the bottom.Both ways use tension to operate an internal block and tackle that closes the jaws.It works really well, as long as you don't cut branches over about 2" thick. The internal block and tackle is plastic and can fracture.
Question:	Is this pruner telescopic, what is the total reach (length
Answer:	Not telescopic 60 inch overall.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long can the pole be extended
Answer:	No really, but after the cut, you can use a light touch to grab the pice you just cut and pull it out of the tree or shrub. Very easy to do.
Question:	does the "finger side" of the grip "rotate", to avoid finger blisters/fatigue?... [as in their smaller hand pruners: ars hp-vs8xr ]
Answer:	Not to sound like a jerk but since I just use it for water I fill it until the spray nozzle doesn't overflow the bottle itself. If you are using it for insecticide etc. I can't help you. But for misting or filling small propagation glasses it works great.
Question:	I’m looking for Heavy duty long pruning
Answer:	I only use it for water but I don't see why not except for the possibility that since you are not actively spraying ( just holding the "trigger") you may overspray and get the bleach mxiture on something you don't want it on. That is all I can think of. Sorry.
Question:	What is the differ between the ars 180lr18 and the ars180lr

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	No it is not
Question:	does this extend back into the main pole to go from 10ft back to six, or does it have to be 6ft or 10 ft at all times
Answer:	With some effort. It is light enough, but if you have it extended out, it becomes hard to get it where you want, unless you are cutting something directly overhead.
Question:	Where can I buy replacement saw blades
Answer:	I'm assuming that's a joke. I'd have to say that I really doubt that the pruner would work for hair, and given that the minimum extension is 4 feet I think you'd have a real logistical issue using it on yourself anyway! And the saw ... well, I wouldn't recommend trying!
Question:	is the handle made of metal
Answer:	To difficult to control spread rate and open and close, controls need to be high part of handle otherwise made well spreader.

User questions & answers

Question:	directions did not come with it. What is the wing nut for
Answer:	If the weed has a stem you should be able to retrieve it. Be sure to have the trimmer "gripper" on the side of the weed when you cut. Otherwise, if the gripper is on the "ground", or opposite, side, then the weed will simply fall to the ground.
