Pruning shears Bahco

Bahco extension pole saws are designed for pruning high branches while working from the ground with greater control. They are suitable for fruit trees, olive trees, ornamental plants and other crops that require periodic canopy pruning. Bahco's history began in 1886, when Johan Petter Johansson opened a small forge in Enköping, Sweden. The Bahco brand was registered in 1892, combining the initials of Berndt August Hjort with the abbreviation Co. Over time, the company expanded its range and developed tools for green-space maintenance, trades, automotive applications and industry. The fish and hook symbol recalls the quality of Swedish steel used to manufacture strong fishing hooks during the 19th century. Today, Bahco's range includes saws, telescopic poles, pole pruners and numerous hand tools for private and professional users.

The indicated range also includes two categories of Bahco loppers, designed for different wood conditions:

• Bahco bypass loppers: the bypass system uses a blade that slides past the counter blade, producing a clean cut on green branches. This configuration is suitable for pruning shrubs, hedges, fruit trees and vines;
• Bahco anvil loppers: the blade completes its stroke against a flat counter blade that supports the branch during cutting. This system concentrates the pressure and is suitable for dry or hard branches;

At AgriEuro, Bahco pole saws can be selected according to their technical features, making it easier to identify the configuration best suited to each requirement. The comparison covers pole structure, working height, blade, tooth pattern, locking system and component compatibility.

• Pole type: Bahco solutions include telescopic poles and models made of multiple sections. The former allow progressive length adjustment; the latter make it possible to add or remove the specified sections;
• Pole material: the Bahco range includes aluminium and fibreglass poles. Aluminium reduces tool weight; fibreglass meets specific operating conditions indicated by the manufacturer;
• Working height: some Bahco systems can reach working points up to 5 metres high. The actual value depends on the selected configuration, the operator's position and correct component assembly;
• Blade and tooth pattern: blades are available for cutting green wood or dry, hard wood. Tooth shape and pitch affect cutting speed, finish and the amount of material removed;
• Compatibility: poles, adapters and saws must belong to compatible systems. Bahco AP and FP poles can be combined with the Bahco pole pruners and saws indicated in the relevant technical specifications;
• Locking system: the adjustment mechanism secures the pole at the selected length. On models equipped with a “twist and lock” closure, locking is achieved by rotating the mechanism into the desired position;

Models for hobby use are suitable for periodic pruning in gardens, small orchards and olive groves. Configurations for professional use are intended for frequent work where precision, component compatibility and pole balance become particularly important.

Pole saws are used on high branches that cannot easily be reached with a short hand tool. Loppers complete the work on branches accessible from the ground, with the cutting system selected according to the condition of the wood. The distinction between bypass and anvil mechanisms makes it possible to match the tool to the vegetation being pruned.

Bahco bypass loppers feature a cutting assembly in which the sharpened blade slides past the counter blade. The progressive movement produces a clean cut and limits the crushing of plant tissue. For this reason, the bypass system is suitable for pruning green, young or sap-rich branches. The long handles increase leverage and allow force to be applied with both hands. Depending on the model, the structure may include aluminium handles, ergonomic grips and buffers designed to absorb impact when the tool closes. The stated maximum cutting diameter identifies the branch thickness that can be handled under the conditions specified by the manufacturer. Selection should therefore consider plant species, average branch diameter and pruning frequency. Cleaning the blade after pruning helps maintain smooth movement between the two cutting elements.

• Bypass cut: the blade slides next to the counter blade without closing against a flat anvil. The system produces an even cut on green plant tissue;
• Long handles: the greater distance from the pivot increases the force applied by the operator. The length must remain compatible with the available space between branches;
• Cutting capacity: the maximum diameter varies according to the model and must be checked in the technical specifications. A branch exceeding the stated limit may require a saw or a tool with greater capacity;
• Maintenance: the blade and counter blade require cleaning, alignment checks and periodic sharpening. Plant residue should be removed before storing the tool;

Bahco anvil loppers use a sharpened blade that completes its stroke against a flat counter blade, also known as an anvil. The branch rests on the anvil and receives concentrated blade pressure as the tool closes. This structure is suitable for cutting dry, hardened or dehydrated wood, where a bypass system may be less appropriate. The two handles create leverage that reduces the manual force required compared with a shorter tool. The branch should be placed close to the pivot, where leverage is most favourable. Before choosing a model, check its maximum cutting diameter, overall length and cutting-head design. The condition of the anvil affects branch stability and cutting consistency. Sharpening must also preserve the blade's original geometry without altering its asymmetrical profile.

• Anvil system: the blade closes against a flat surface that supports the branch. Concentrated pressure assists with cutting dry and resistant wood;
• Branch position: the cutting point should be placed close to the tool's pivot. This position takes better advantage of the leverage produced by the handles;
• Anvil inspection: the support surface must be intact, stable and correctly aligned. Wear or deformation may result in an uneven cut;
• Blade sharpening: the operation must preserve the bevel specified by the manufacturer. Altering its geometry may compromise the contact between blade and anvil;

The choice mainly depends on branch height, wood type, blade length and pole configuration. A telescopic pole is useful for pruning at different heights; a sectional system allows the specified length to be assembled. The blade and tooth pattern must be suitable for either green wood or dry, hard wood.

Some Bahco telescopic poles are designed for work at points located up to 5 metres high. Actual reach varies according to the model, number of sections and operator position. The technical specifications should be checked for the closed and extended pole lengths, as well as the assembly instructions.

Green and dry wood require different tooth patterns. A tooth pattern designed for green wood must clear the damp residue produced during cutting. Dry or hard wood requires a blade designed to cut more rigid fibres. The intended application of the blade is indicated in the specifications of each saw.

Compatibility must be checked using the product codes of the saw, pole and any adapter. Bahco AP and FP poles are specified for various saws and pole pruners from the brand, but each combination must comply with the manufacturer's information. Correct attachment prevents the head from moving during cutting.

The “twist and lock” system secures the telescopic pole at the selected length. Adjustment is carried out by rotating the locking mechanism according to the model's instructions. Before cutting, every section should be checked to ensure it is secure and does not slide under pressure.

The blade should be cleaned after work to remove sawdust, sap and plant residue. Before cleaning, the saw should be detached from the pole where specified and placed in a stable position. The blade must be thoroughly dried and protected according to the manufacturer's instructions before storage.

Replacement is appropriate when the blade has damaged teeth, deformation, cracks or reduced cutting performance that cannot be corrected through the specified maintenance. The spare part must have a product code and specifications compatible with the saw. An unsuitable blade may alter the tool's balance and its correct connection to the pole.

Yes, a pole saw is designed to reach high branches while the operator remains on the ground, within the model's stated limits. The tool should be used from a stable surface, keeping the zone below the branch clear. The operator must not stand directly beneath the branch being cut.

A pole saw cuts the branch through the reciprocating movement of a toothed blade and is also suitable for elevated points. Loppers use two long handles and either a bypass or anvil cutting assembly. The choice depends on the height, diameter, accessibility and condition of the branch.

Bypass loppers use a blade that passes beside the counter blade and are mainly suitable for green branches. Anvil loppers close the blade against a flat anvil and concentrate pressure on dry or hard wood. The maximum diameter must always remain within the limit stated for the model.
