Product Information
Full details
The BlueSpot Tools Folding Pruning Saw is an ideal choice for gardeners, arborists, and outdoor enthusiasts who require a portable yet high-performance tool for managing branches and shrubbery. Its primary benefit is the 180mm triple-ground blade that makes quick work of branches up to 5cm in diameter, offering significant efficiency on the pull stroke. While this tool excels at precision pruning and portability, users should note that the folding mechanism is designed for manual trimming tasks and is not intended for heavy-duty felling or professional forestry work.

FAQs
What is the maximum branch size I can cut?
The saw is rated for branches up to 5cm in diameter for the best performance and tool longevity.
Does the blade lock in place?
Yes, it features a secure push-button release mechanism that locks the blade in both the open and closed positions.
How do I clean tree sap off the blade?
Use a soft cloth dampened with a gentle solvent or resin remover, then wipe dry to prevent rust.
Is this saw suitable for heavy tree felling?
No, this is a hand-pruning tool designed for small branches and precision tasks, not for felling trees.
Can I replace the blade?
The blade is integrated into the folding mechanism; it is designed to be a durable single unit and is not intended for individual blade replacement.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels loose during use
Check the pivot point to ensure no debris is stuck in the hinge and verify the locking button is fully engaged.
Saw is sticking while cutting
Ensure you are using a smooth pull-stroke motion and check that the branch diameter does not exceed 5cm, which can cause the blade to bind.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply press the locking button to unfold the blade until it clicks into the fixed position. To ensure the longevity of your tool:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the blade with a clean, dry cloth to remove sap and debris. If the blade becomes sticky with sap, use a light solvent like turpentine or specialized resin remover.
- Storage: Always ensure the blade is fully locked in the closed position before placing it in storage to protect the teeth.
- Safety: Keep fingers away from the folding mechanism during the opening and closing process to avoid pinching.
