Know before you buy
The chemical nickel coating provides a harder, more resilient surface that resists corrosion and reduces friction. This helps the blade stay sharper for longer and prevents sap buildup during heavy pruning sessions.
The curved blade design is optimized for arboriculture because it allows the saw to bite into the wood more aggressively on the pull stroke. This shape makes it easier to cut branches that are above shoulder height or in tight, awkward positions.
The PS 70 is designed specifically for precision pruning and maintenance tasks rather than felling large trees. It is best suited for thinning, shaping, and removing smaller limbs where clean, accurate cuts are required.
The safety demonstration ensures you understand the proper handling techniques, storage, and maintenance required to keep the blade in peak condition. It is a practical walkthrough designed to help you avoid injury and extend the lifespan of the tool.
While the nickel coating offers excellent protection against the elements, it is still best practice to wipe the blade clean of sap and moisture after each use. Storing it in a dry place will ensure the tool remains in top working order for years.
