Description
Greenlee Utility Chain Saws are hydraulically powered
cutting tools intended for pruning, limbing, and felling
operations.
Powered by a rugged, direct-drive gear motor, this
type of saw provides extraordinary cutting power for
trimming and cutting from an aerial device or from the
ground.
This saw can be customized in two ways. First, the
control handle can be set to different positions —
horizontal, 30° and 60° — for the benefit of the operator.
Second, the blade and bar can be replaced with a blade
and bar of a different length or pitch to adapt to various
cutting situations. For blade-and-bar combinations that
are compatible with this saw, refer to “Accessories” in
this manual.
The Greenlee Greenlee Utility Super Spool™ allows these
saws to be used on either Open-Center or Closed-Center
hydraulic systems.
Super Spool™ is protected by U. S. Patent No. 4548229.
