Abstract: A power saw pruning device (A) is disclosed which utilizes a conventional saber saw (14) for pruning trees. The device includes an elongated pole handle (10) and a base adaptor (12) carried on one end of the elongated pole handle. The base (12) includes a rack (16, 18) in which a shoe (20) of the saber saw slides in opposing directions in one dimension. An elongated slot (26) is formed in the base (12) for receiving a blade (28) of the saber saw therethrough. Angle arm means (B) includes an angle edge (44) which tapers from an open mouth (46) to the base (12) for gripping a tree limb (40) therein. The plane of the angle arm (42) is offset relative to the plane of the blade (28). By hanging the device on a tree limb to be cut, an operator may move to a remote position and operate the power saw by a switch (32). After the tree limb is cut through, the device remains suspended on a stump (40a) of the tree limb which has been cut.
