A:  Thank you for contacting Fiskars. All of the new long handled tree pruners have been fixed and have been redesigned.

A:  I wrap it around the handle and have a green plant/bush tie holding it down.

A:  I roll it on the rope handle. 

A:  When using the item as a saw, I park the in-point of the rope in the joint that operates the blade. I slightly open the joint and then lay the rope into that crook. Then, the bottom the rope sits around the middle of the pole.

A:  Thank you for contacting Fiskars. You can either loop the excess rope around your hand a few times, or you can tie the rope loosely around the middle or end of the pole and pull on it from above your ties spots. The loose rope will maintain its position based on where you tied/looped it on the pole.

A:  There is a branch cutter and a saw. How branches fall depends on many factors. To be aure I would throw a rope around branch and lightly pull in the direction you want to it to go. Experience is a big part of know how a branch will fall. 

A:  I thank the best way is to throw a rope around the branch. Then, someone else help you pull the rope to control branch falling directions.

A:  i was unable to use this product successfully and had to return it

A:  There is a latch that you attach it to.

A:  Feel sure you can, since I used the pruner with pull cord to trim my Sago Palm. You would need to be able to get the pruner to the base of each banana leave stalk.

A:  I don’t see why not

A:  No, not that I’ve seen.

A:  Yes

A:  yes it can ... I keep mine off the majority of the time

A:  Yes you have the option to remove the blade and only use the hook to cut branches or vice versa

A:  Yes. Very easily. remove one thumb screw to remove or replace. Nice tool.

A:  Yes, the saw blade can be removed or turned down so it is out of the way

A:  Yes, if you are not using it you should take it off it makes it much easier

A:  Luckly I keep everything in my shop drawers. Attached is a copy of the original instructions that came with mine. Good Luck.

A:  The Fiskars pole saw/pruner came with minimal packing, instructions, or assemble required...the instructions were on the packaging which you probably tossed. Attaching the blade is as simple as removing the included wing nut, inserting the blade into the slot, and tightening the wing nut. Attached is a picture from the original packaging. Be sure to print it and save.

A:  Line up hole in blade with locking screw and attach wing nut. Position blade (other hole) over the positioning pin and tighten the wing nut, when you have the blade in the right position for sawing.

A:  On the side opposite the string operated lever is the blade and hook for the lopper. Directly above this is a threaded stud with wing nut and an unthreaded stud. Place the blade on the threaded stud and use one of the three holes for the stud/pin. It is somewhat adjustable for angle using the different holes. That's it.

A:  Unfortunately, by extending the pole beyond it percribed length, the leverage point changes and increases the risk of injury. If you are trying to trim tree limbs beyond it length, it means you should rethink what you are trying to trim and explore other options.

A:  It does not appear that extensions are an option. I planned to use a ladder and or a window from my home.

A:  I would not recommend that. If you need a longer reach, it would be best to purchase one designed for the length you need.

A:  Thank you for contacting Fiskars. Unfortunately, we do not have an extension available to safely extend the pole length.

A:  No extension to the pole that I am aware of.......unless you use a ladder (if is is safe to do so) to extend your reach a few feet. May want to contact Fiskars Customer Service with your question.

A:  Thank you for contacting Fiskars. Please contact our warranty department at warranty@fiskars.com and a representative will be happy to assist with a replacement rope for your Fiskars tree pruner.

A:  Home Depot doesn't sell replacement rope. However, I have taken my old rope in and they have helped me find the correct rope and cut it to size.
