A:  Maybe I should clarify the question. I'm NOT looking to replace the existing throtitle handle. There is no front handle that comes standard on this pole saw. I am looking to add a FRONT handle similar to the part number I posted earlier. A multi grip handle that clamps to the pole. This way my front hand does not have to only hold onto the pole, i could have the option to change my hand grip to different positions to help avoid fatigue. Is an add-on front handle possible?

A:  Hi! Thank you for your inquiry. The only handle that should be used on the ECHO Power Pruner models is the one that comes standard on it. The part number, P021012390, is a handle that is only used on some of the ECHO trimmer models.

A:  Hi Carl! The ECHO Power Pruners are designed to cut branches overhead to 12 feet or more without needing a ladder. ECHO would not recommend the use of a Power Pruner near the ground.

A:  We’ve cut 8” ones.

A:  I plan on cutting limb on the ground that are 12 inches the size of the bar and would not want to cut anything larger than that especially if it’s not on the ground

A:  TOO MUCH! You would think the engine being on the bottom and the chain being on the top end, the balance would be good, but it isn't. It is far too unweildy to be useful.
