Fair point about the size of the branch. Though I figure that if it fits in the hook of the pruner then I should be able to cut it.
I've always had a saw to fit on the pole pruner, but never used it. I don't quite get the concept to be honest. If the branch is just slightly too big for the pruner head then it's much too whippy to cut with the saw. If it's large enough to be steady then I might as well just climb the tree and do it by hand.

 

Yea, you'd think if your pruner head fits over a branch it aught to slice right through it...  but it don't work like that, some branches just don't want to behave as they should..

 

I tend to test a branch or two to see if I'm gonna have a problem, if the woods a bit knotty I stick to keepin to the smaller stuff, don't like the idea of climbing the tree to get my pruner back.

 

I haven't got one of those two fo's,  saw attached to a pruner, I have a stand alone pole saw...

 

anyways, best advice, find a test branch and work your way from easy cut to strugglin cut...   you can keep away from the problem sizes then..
