Re: pruningl

Ron,
I have a telescoping pruner that I really love. For larger branches it has a
saw attachment.  I have often wondered how those work.  Here I am holding
this long aluminum pole, reaching about 15 feet and I'm planning on sawing
off a limb.  Tell me (anyone) how do I make that undercut that prevents
tearing, giving a clean cut?  Even the top cut, though it at least works
with gravity, is going to be nearly impossible as, standing 15 feet below, I
am not going to be able to exert enough pressure to saw through much.  Am I
simply oblivious to something very obvious?

Kitty
