Product Information

Full details

The Stihl PR 16 Folding Pruning Saw is designed for home gardeners and professionals who need a lightweight, portable tool for precision pruning of small branches. Its primary benefit is the combination of aggressive cutting performance and high portability, making it ideal for quick jobs on the go. One caveat to keep in mind is that the 16cm blade is optimized for branches up to 50mm in diameter, meaning it is not suitable for heavy-duty limb removal or larger trees.

FAQs

What is the maximum branch size I can cut?

The Stihl PR 16 is designed for branches up to 50mm in diameter.

Is the blade replaceable?

Yes, Stihl offers replacement blades, though the original chrome-plated blade is designed for high durability.

Can this saw be used by left-handed people?

Yes, the symmetrical ergonomic handle is suitable for both left and right-handed users.

How do I keep the blade sharp?

The Japanese toothing is hardened for longevity. Avoid contact with dirt or wire fences to maintain the factory edge for as long as possible.

Does it have a locking mechanism?

Yes, the saw features a safety lock to keep the blade in the open position while in use and in the closed position during storage.

Troubleshooting

Blade feels stiff when folding or unfolding

Clean any accumulated sap from the pivot point and apply a small drop of lubricant to the hinge.

Saw is binding while cutting

Ensure you are using the full length of the blade and applying even pressure on the pull stroke. Do not force the saw if the branch exceeds the recommended 50mm limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The PR 16 is ready to use straight out of the box and does not require complex assembly. To ensure long-term performance, clean the blade after every use to remove sap and debris using a light solvent or water, then dry thoroughly before folding. While the blade is chrome-plated, a light coating of machine oil can prevent rust if the saw is stored in a humid shed or garage. Keep the locking mechanism clear of grit to ensure the blade deploys and retracts smoothly.
