ARS UV-40 pruning saw
ARS UV-40 pruning saw – 400 mm blade, 160 mm cutting capacity
Hand saw and pole saw in one
The UV-40 is the middle size: a 400 mm blade with a 160 mm cutting capacity. Enough for larger branches while still manageable on a pole. The tool is a complete hand saw on its own, but it also fits any ARS EXP telescopic pole, which does away with the ladder for high branches.
Super TURBOCUT teeth
Super TURBOCUT is the more advanced ARS tooth geometry: it meets less resistance in living wood, and the chip-clearing slots along the blade keep the kerf clean as you work. This matters most on thicker branches, where trapped sawdust slows you down. The tooth pitch is 4.5 mm and the tooth gauge 1.5 mm. The blade is hard chrome-plated to protect against corrosion.
The pole-mountable models
Three blade sizes are available, all compatible with the same telescopic poles.
| Model | Blade length | Cutting capacity | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| UV-34 | 340 mm | 135 mm | 390 g |
| UV-40 (this product) | 400 mm | 160 mm | 520 g |
| UV-47 | 470 mm | 185 mm | 500 g |
Telescopic poles
The length of the pole determines the height you can reach. Three lengths are available, all carrying the KWF Profi quality mark.
| Telescopic pole | Collapsed | Extended | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| EXP-3.3 | 1.41 m | 3.29 m | 1530 g |
| EXP-4.5 | 1.84 m | 4.56 m | 1720 g |
| EXP-5.5 | 2.18 m | 5.61 m | 2100 g |
Ready-assembled combinations are also available: UV-40 + EXP-3.3, UV-40 + EXP-4.5 and UV-40 + EXP-5.5.
Blade replacement
The saw blade is available separately as the UV-40-1. Since the teeth are impulse-hardened and cannot be re-sharpened, replacing the blade is the right answer when it wears. Resin comes off with the ARS GO-1 blade cleaner.

High Carbon Steel
Carbon steel is sharp, wear-resistant and easy to sharpen. It offers great precision and durability, ideal for professional pruning. Regular maintenance greatly extends its lifespan.
Hard Chrome Coating
Hard chrome-plated blades offer extra protection against rust and wear. The smooth surface resists plant sap and retains its sharpness for longer. Designed for heavy-duty use.
Taper-Ground Blade
Taper-ground saw blades are thicker at the cutting edge and taper toward the back of the blade, significantly reducing friction. This design delivers an exceptionally clean cut and precise control. Ideal for professional pruning, offering a smooth cut with minimal effort and maximum accuracy.
Super Turbocut Tooth Pattern
The Super Turbocut's advanced, razor-sharp tooth design guarantees outstanding cutting speed and a clean finish. Ideal for professional pruning where efficiency is key. Special gullets between the teeth effectively clear away sawdust, preventing the blade from jamming and ensuring smooth, unobstructed cutting with minimal resistance.
Tooth Pitch – 4.5 mm
The 4.5 mm tooth pitch delivers maximum cutting speed and efficiency. Specifically optimized for thicker branches and fast cutting of softwood and hardwood. This robust tooth pattern enables aggressive material removal, making it ideal for fast-paced professional work and high-volume pruning tasks.
Blade Thickness – 1.5 mm
The 1.5 mm blade thickness offers the highest level of balance between stability and cutting comfort. Optimized primarily for medium-length saw blades, it delivers stable movement, low resistance and extremely precise cutting across the widest range of pruning tasks.
For All Hand Sizes
A universal design that fits all hand sizes excellently. An ideal choice for shared family use or professional work. Perfect weight distribution and a stable grip provide maximum comfort even during long-term, heavy-duty use.
