atively small, precise cuts. Meanwhile, a gas-powered saw may spend much of the job idling, requiring frequent restarts, or simply making too much noise while the climber repositions. LESS EXHAUST-ING Another advantage is the lack of vibra- tion on an arborist’s body compared to gas-powered equipment, reducing strain on an operator’s arms and hands. “Arborists spend a lot of time operating equipment, so anything that can re- duce fatigue and cumulative exposure over a career is worth considering,” Pi- etersen said. He notes that the reduced weight and vi- bration also make a big difference when an arborist is finished with a full day of climbing and working in the canopy. “Individually, those things might seem small, but when you’re using a saw re- peatedly for hours, they add up,” he said.
Battery-powered saws allow climbers to move efficiently through the canopy, making precise cuts without repeated pull-starts, warm-up time, or excessive noise.
