Handsaw Fiskars SW-240 240 mm blade length — pruning and cutting tool

Fiskars Handsaw SW-240 240 mm blade length is a compact pruning and cutting tool designed for routine garden work. The saw features a 240 mm straight blade that provides precise cuts on small branches, shrubs and light wood. Its size and balance make it practical for one-handed operation and for tasks requiring controlled, close trimming around plants and structures.

Advantages

The saw combines a short, stiff blade with a tooth geometry optimized for clean cutting of green and dry wood, enabling efficient pruning without excessive tearing. Its compact form offers better reach and maneuverability in tight spaces compared with larger saws. The handle is shaped for a secure grip and improved control during repeated cuts, reducing user fatigue during moderate use. Materials and finish are selected to resist outdoor conditions and to maintain cutting performance over time.

Suitable for

• Pruning small branches and fruit tree maintenance
• Trimming shrubs and hedges where precise short cuts are needed
• Light carpentry and cutting small dimensional timber
• Garden clearance and removal of deadwood

Key specifications

• Blade length: 240 mm for short, controlled cuts
• Blade type: straight pruning/cutting blade suitable for green and dry wood
• Overall balance: compact design for one-handed use and improved maneuverability
• Handle: ergonomic shape for secure grip and control
• Intended use: pruning, trimming and light cutting tasks in garden settings

How to use

Hold the saw with a firm, comfortable grip and position the blade against the branch at the desired cutting point. Use steady, controlled strokes, allowing the blade teeth to do the cutting rather than forcing the tool. For branches thicker than the blade length, cut from both sides where possible to prevent splitting. Maintain a clear cutting line and keep the body and hands away from the blade path. After use, clean sap and debris from the blade and store the saw in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when pruning. Use the 240 mm blade for branches and material within its effective cutting range; for thicker branches consider a larger saw. Regularly clean and lightly oil the blade to prolong cutting performance and minimize corrosion. Inspect the handle and mounting before each use to ensure safe operation.
