The clearing saw is used to clear forests, bushes and undergrowth. A clearing saw has a shorter shaft for better manoeuvrability in dense stands. The acute angle of the bevel gear facilitates directional felling. A thumb-operated throttle also helps clearing work. Jonsered saws are available in several different designs, each optimised for professional forestry workers or other regular professional use.

Some tips before buying

• Choose a machine with an effective anti-vibration system that allows you to work longer
• Choose a lightweight machine, especially if you work full time
• Your clearing saw should be high powered and have a high torque and rapid acceleration for maximum efficiency
• Your machine should have an ergonomic harness for the best relief, comfort and efficiency
• The handlebar should be angled relative to the shaft, to prevent an uneven load being placed on your back.
• The handlebar can be angled and folded down, for easier transport and storage.
• If you plan to work in cold climates, choose a clearing saw with heated handles
