Silky Fox Hayauchi

To extend the Hayauchi Pole Saw, the clamps must be released and poles extended from the bottom up and closed from the top down.

It is important that both locking systems are used to ensure the structural rigidity of the extended poles. Spring loaded locking buttons allow multiple length adjustment and safety friction clamps hold the extensions firmly in place.

As with all Silky Saws, the cut is on the pull stroke
which means the blade will be under tension and will not bow.

Let the blade do the work for you.

Never force the blade on the push stroke as you will be pushing against the direction of the teeth – if the blade becomes caught, do not push hard against it. Carefully take the pressure off the blade in order to release the saw.

The Hayauchi Pole Saw should always be stored in the closed position
with the blade guard in place. They should also be cleaned of
any debris/dirt to ensure a smooth opening operation. The blade
should ideally be cleaned with a solvent – this will help to prolong
its useful life.

WARNING. DO NOT USE POLE SAWS WITHIN 15M
OF POWER LINES OR ELECTRICAL WIRES. Failure to heed this warning
may result in serious injury or death by electrocution.

WARNING. NEVER CUT DIRECTLY ABOVE YOUR HEAD.
Always consider where falling branches will land on the ground.
We strongly recommend the use of protective hard hats and glasses
when using pole saws.

WARNING. Silky Saws are extremely sharp so
please be careful when using and keep away from children. Improper
use can cause serious injury.

resulting from the use of its saws.

The Hayauchi Pole Saw is constructed of aluminium alloy. They are oval in shape which provides extra strength and rigidity and minimises bend when fully extended. This gives the user greater control over the direction of the blade when cutting.

In addition there are two locking systems which again work to assure structural rigidity of the extended poles:

1. locking pins/buttons – the primary pole locking mechanism
2. friction clamps – the secondary pole locking mechanism.

The two systems are designed to work together. Spring-loaded locking buttons allow multiple length adjustments and safety friction clamps hold the extensions firmly in place. This dual locking system allows 100% of the effort at the handle to be effectively transferred to the blade.

This Hayauchi blade is manufactured from SK-4 carbon steel and
cut out by laser. The taper-ground profile reduces drag and directs
more usable energy to the cutting edge.

The Hayauchi utilises Silky’s proprietary 4-RETSUME teeth technology
which literally means four rows of teeth. As a result, the teeth
are set in such a way that there appears to be four rows of them
which leads to faster, more aggressive and easier pruning. These
saws can easily be used for rougher cutting and heavier tasks
as they can rip-cut, cross cut and slant-cut.

The Hayauchi Pole Saw blades are chrome plated which helps protect against rust and sap as well as providing additional strength. This also helps extend the life of the blade.

Hayauchi Pole Saw blades are not manufactured using electro impulse
hardening and as such can be re-sharpened using a This should help extend the life of the blade.
