A polesaw (also pole saw or giraffe saw ) is a saw attached to a pole or long handle that is used for cutting tree branches that are beyond arm's reach. [1] [2] A polesaw allows its user to cut high branches without the use of a ladder. [3] Polesaws can be manual or motorized.

A polesaw is common equipment for phone- and powerline workers to prune tree limbs entangled with overhead cables , but the physical nature of the work can be a source of musculoskeletal injuries . [4]
