Description

Long-reach chain saws are hydraulically powered
cutting tools intended for general tree trimming from the
ground or from an aerial device.
Greenlee Utility's patented Super Spool™ design allows
the tool to be used with either open-center or closed-
center hydraulic systems. The dielectric properties of
the fiberglass pole reduce the chance of electric shock
when the saw is used near energized electrical lines.
Other features include an anti-kickback chain, a fully
covered sprocket guard, a hand-stop safety collar, a
trigger interlock and a trigger guard.
Super Spool is protected by U.S. Patent No. 4,548,229.
