Description
Prune high branches across commercial grounds using existing dual 18V battery inventories without hauling gas mix cans. The Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT telescoping pole saw bare tool delivers 36V cutting power using two standard 18V LXT lithium batteries. This 13-foot telescoping bare tool grooms trees across municipal parks and corporate campuses. It cannot cut limbs exceeding eight inches in diameter.
An efficient outer-rotor brushless motor links directly to the cutting head drive gear, eliminating heavy drive shafts and maximizing rotational torque. The telescoping pole extends to thirteen feet, locked by a heavy cam-locking collar. A 10-inch commercial guide bar and narrow-kerf chain cut hardwood branches cleanly, protected by Extreme Protection Technology that seals internal circuits from water and dust.
36V Dual Battery Telescopic Saw Specs
Commercial landscapers and arborist crews demand 36V cutting tools that utilize standard 18V battery platforms. This bare pole saw delivers high cutting torque without hauling gas mix cans across properties.
- 18V X2 LXT technology uses two 18V batteries to deliver 36V power and performance
- Outer-rotor brushless motor drives the cutting chain at high speed without drive shafts
- Telescoping shaft expands from nine to thirteen feet for nineteen-foot working reaches
- 10-inch commercial guide bar slices through branch wood up to eight inches thick
- Automatic adjustable chain oiler features a translucent tank for quick fluid checks
- Integrated branch hook pulls loose cut limbs down through thick tree canopies
- Extreme Protection Technology seals internal electrical circuits from rain and dust
Bench Cutting Speed Load Telemetry
Bench cutting tests through 4-inch green oak logs record an impressive chain speed of 3940 FPM under load. The dual-battery brushless motor cuts a 4-inch oak branch in 2.3 seconds without stalling. Sound pressure tests measure 83 dBA at operator position, running far quieter than gas saws. The weather-resistant chassis maintains seal integrity under continuous water spray testing.
Cordless Pruning Handling Operating Limits
Slide two matched 18V LXT batteries into the rear receiver, loosen the cam clamp to extend the pole, hold the rubberized grips, and squeeze the trigger. Position the bar spike against the limb before cutting. Do not operate this pole saw near live electrical lines.
- Guide bar sprocket nose requires high-temperature grease injection every twenty hours
- Bar oil tank filter screen demands cleaning to remove wood chips after every work shift
- Dual battery receiver terminals require dry air blowouts every forty operating hours
