SAW CARE & USE
A Fanno saw is built to work for decades — and to be rebuilt, not replaced. A little care keeps every blade cutting fast and clean, season after season.
A Fanno saw is meant to be rehung, not thrown away. Fanno tri-edge blades install on most pole-pruner heads and Fanno handsaw handles with nothing more than a screwdriver. When a blade finally wears out, match the replacement to your saw model — every frame we make has a blade available — and your saw is as good as new.
Sawdust and resin build up between the teeth and slow the cut. Wipe the blade down after use — a little oil dissolves resin and lifts it off easily. Dry the blade thoroughly, return it to its sheath or holster, and store it somewhere dry. Moisture is a blade's enemy; a dry, sheathed saw resists rust for years.
Fanno's taper-ground American-pattern blades can be brought back to a keen edge with a small flat or triangular saw file, always following the original tooth geometry. (Hardened tri-edge pull blades are designed to be replaced rather than resharpened — see Replacing a Blade.)
Pole saws reach high limbs cleanly from the ground — no climbing. Folding saws carry like a pocket knife for pruning, camping, and quick jobs. Hand saws give you control and power for heavier cuts at arm's length. Most pros keep more than one within reach.
