| Makita U.S.A., Inc. adds the 36V (18V X2) LXT brushless cordless 10-inch pole saw (XAU01) and telescoping pole saw (XAU02) that offer faster cutting speed without the hassles of gas. |
Both pole saws get up to 140 cuts in 4x4 cedar with two LXT 5.0Ah batteries. They have a 20 percent faster cutting speed than a 31.4cc gas engine pole saw and the torque boost mode helps power through thick or hard branches.
The XAU01 has a fixed shaft that is 8 feet in length, ideal for pruning branches. The XAU02 has a telescoping shaft that adjusts in length from 9 to 13 feet. This provides access to hard-to-reach branches.
Other features include a branch hook to pull trimmed branches from trees, lateral chain tensioning with single stud for efficient chain retention, captured bar nut, soft front grip,and a translucent bar oil tank with large opening for easy refilling.
Both poles saws have Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), a protective seal inside the tool engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.
The cordless units offer faster cutting speeds and power equivalent to 30cc gas pole saws to handle commercial-duty applications.
The LXT batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Cordless power equipment eliminates the hassles of gas with zero emissions, lower noise, and reduced maintenance. The pole saws operate at a lower noise level, providing user comfort and preventing a disruption for neighbors or nearby businesses.
