Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Silky 179-39 Telescoping Landscaping Pole Saw HAYAUCHI 390 (21 feet) is a bestselling, professional, aluminum telescoping pole saw - the pole saw of choice by professionals. The aluminum alloy extension poles are oval shaped, providing precise control over the direction of the blade (especially important for high cutting) and giving strength and rigidity to the pole thus reducing bending to the minimum. The base pole has a pole-end shock absorber and comfortable rubberized over grip which ensures good hold and control. The 15-2/5-inch curved blade utilizes proprietary Silky 4-RETSUME (Four Rows of Teeth) Technology. Teeth are set in such a way that there appears to be 4 rows of them. Ideal for toughest pruning jobs! Blade can be adjusted to two different angles for lower or higher cutting and features an upper and lower sickle. The upper sickle is used to cut vines and lower sickle to undercut bark. Lower sickle provides clean cut without damaging tree, while upper sickle prevents blade from slipping off limb. HAYAUCHI is the finest telescoping pole saw available on the market today. Black rigid-plastic blade cover is included. Made in Japan. To allow effective use of HAYAUCHI pole saws, two locking systems are incorporated to assure structural rigidity of the extended poles: 1) locking pins/buttons - the primary pole locking mechanism; and 2) friction clamps - the secondary pole locking mechanism. The two systems are designed to work together. This dual locking system allows 100% of the effort at the handle to be effectively transferred to the blade up to 21 feet away. Spring-loaded locking buttons allow multiple length adjustments and safety friction clamps hold the extensions firmly in place. Safety considerations require that the pole saw user must wear a hard hat and eye protection at all times. Manufacturer Warning: Do not use aluminum telescoping pole saws around electrical power lines or equipment. Electrical shock may result. Incorrect use of the Silky pole saw may cause injury.

Product Description

The Hayauchi pole saw has rigid aluminum poles that quickly extend to desired cutting length. The base pole has a comfortable rubber grip. The extension lock with spring loaded buttons at the end of each length. The nearly 16-inch blade not only sports the largest teeth available in a razor tooth design, but has a sharpened base and tip for scoring the branch, to avoid ripping damage to the branch collar. The upper sickle is used to cut vines; the lower one - to undercut bark allowing a clean cut without damaging the tree. The aluminum alloy extension pole is oval shaped, giving precise control to the direction of the saw blade (especially important for high cutting) and also giving strength and rigidity to the pole, reducing bending to the minimum. Push buttons allow multiple length adjustments and safety clamps hold the extensions firmly in place. A rubber hand-grip ensures good hold and control. The blade is adjustable for lower or higher cutting.Replacement parts list (340K pdf file)Product Features: 3-Extensions (4 poles) model that extends to 21 feet Extension range 7'-8" to 21' Maximum working reach 25 feet 15.35" (390mm) length chrome plated blade with 5.5 teeth per inch (6.5 teeth per 30mm) Approximate weight 6.73lbg (3000g) A lightweight and rigid aluminum oval shaped pole Double lock system insures your safety while working Comes with its own full length, hard plastic scabbard Limited lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship Do not use this item near electrical hazards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silky Pole Saw, November 6, 2005

By 

Informed Buyer - See all my reviews

I spent significant time researching extension pole saws that I could use to prune the many hard and softwood trees on my property without incurring the expense of a professional tree company. I was impressed by the 21' Silky Hayauchi but very skeptical about its ability to cut branches at this distance off the ground. I was also skeptical of my ability at age 66 to physically handle this saw at such an extreme height. I called the Silky Store and spoke to a representative regarding my concerns. They advised that I would not experience any problems as long as I engaged the double locking system on each pole extension and allowed the saw to do the work. They explained that the blade was designed to cut only on the pull stroke and that gravity would provide most of the required cutting force. The effort required on the push stroke would be minimal since no cutting occurs on the up stroke. Based on their advice and the Silky guaranty I purchased the 21' Hayauchi pole saw. I received it in 2 days! I was totally amazed with the incredible performance of this very high quality saw. I easily cut large limbs at least 20' or more off the ground. The guideance received from the Silky Store representative combined with my actual experience with this superior quality tool was very impressive. I intend to purchase additional Silky saws from the Silky Store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best tool I have ever owned, September 16, 2006

By 

Greg (Port Townsend, WA United States) - See all my reviews

Got my Hayauchi about 4 weeks ago, and have been using it to limb trees just about daily ever since. The 21-ft extension, coupled with the stability of the oval-shaped poles, allowed me to get far up the tree and with very little of the wobble that I've experienced with other, much shorter, pole saws at full extension. The system for securing the poles when extended is top notch, featuring spring-activated "buttons" that pop up through a hole in the shaft and clamping tabs that also secure the poles in position.

One caveat: the saw blade (great blade by the way) is secured to the pole by a sleeve with two through-bolts. These in turn are secured by wing nuts. Be sure to check the wing nuts for tightness after each day's use (and maybe midway through a heavy session. I've already lost the lower bolt/wingnut twice due to failure to check this.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Saw, May 11, 2006

(REAL NAME)   

I have my own business in Lawn maintanace and often trim palm trees. I have been using a chain saw that extends to 11'. The Trees that I trim have now grown beyond the safe length of use on the pole saw so I decided to purchase the HAYAUCHI 390 21-Feet saw. I used it for the first time this week and it made light work out of taking down palm leaves. Plus I could get the saw into spots where I couldn't get the chain saw. It's light weight and sharp, well worth the money.
