This creates an exceedingly smooth, accurate cut.

PULL SAW TECHNIQUE

2. Start cutting by lightly dragging the blade across the branch towards you
3. Slide the blade forward. No cutting takes place on this forward or push stroke
4. Repeat until the branch is cut
5. Apply light pressure on the pull stroke and simply slide the blade forward. Let the teeth do the work

EXCHANGING THE BLADE
