Beskæringssavs

Beskæringssavs are specialized saws designed for pruning trees and shrubs. These saws differ from general-purpose saws in their blade shape and tooth configuration, which are optimized for cutting through living wood without causing excessive damage. A common feature of a beskæringssav is a curved blade, allowing for easier access to branches in tight spaces and a more efficient cutting action.

The teeth on a beskæringssav are typically impulse-hardened or laser-cut for durability and sharpness. They are often set in a way that creates a clean cut, promoting faster healing of the plant and reducing the risk of disease. The handle is ergonomically designed for a comfortable and secure grip, important for control during use.

There are several types of beskæringssavs available. Folding saws are popular for their portability and safety, as the blade can be closed within the handle when not in use. Pole saws, which have a long handle, are used for reaching higher branches that cannot be accessed with a hand saw. Bow saws with a strong frame and tensioned blade can also be used for larger branches.

When using a beskæringssav, it is crucial to make clean cuts at the correct angle to avoid stressing the plant. Proper maintenance, including cleaning and sharpening the blade, is essential for optimal performance and longevity of the tool. A beskæringssav is an indispensable tool for gardeners, arborists, and anyone involved in plant care.
