Description
Reach high tree branches across commercial properties using 40V cordless power without handling gas mix cans. The Makita 40V max XGT 10in telescoping pole saw bare tool delivers high chain speeds for commercial landscape contractors and municipal arborists. This 13-foot telescoping bare tool trims branches across noise-restricted grounds. It cannot cut limbs exceeding eight inches.
A direct-drive brushless motor inside the cutting head eliminates intermediate mechanical drive shafts, reducing total tool weight and rotational drag. The rigid aluminum pole extends to thirteen feet, locked securely by an oversized cam-locking lever. A 10-inch commercial guide bar and narrow-kerf chain cut branches cleanly, while the weather-resistant IPX4 chassis repels rain and morning dew.
XGT Telescoping Pole Saw Hardware Specs
Municipal arborists and landscape maintenance specialists require high-power cordless pole saws to cut limbs quietly in noise-restricted municipal corridors. This bare tool handles demanding tree trimming shifts.
- 40V max XGT brushless motor generates 1.9 HP cutting power matching 35cc gas engines
- Telescoping shaft expands overall tool length from nine to thirteen feet for high reaches
- 10-inch commercial guide bar slices through branch wood up to eight inches thick cleanly
- Direct-drive head architecture eliminates drive shaft torsional flex and maintenance
- Integrated branch extraction hook pulls hung limbs down through thick foliage
- Side-access chain tensioning bolt permits rapid field chain adjustments with a wrench
- IPX4 water-resistant chassis protects internal electronics from rain showers
Dynamometer Motor Cutting Speed Telemetry
Bench cutting runs through green oak limbs record an impressive chain speed of 3940 FPM under cutting load. The brushless motor draws 24 Amps continuous during deep cuts, maintaining chain velocity without stalling. Sound pressure meters register 84 dBA at the operator ear position. Extended pole flex measures less than 0.50 inches at full thirteen-foot extension under fifteen pounds of vertical load.
Cordless Pruning Handling Operating Limits
Slide an approved 40V XGT battery into the base, loosen the cam clamp to extend the shaft, verify bar oil flow, and pull the trigger. Position the bar bumper against the branch before cutting. Do not operate this pole saw near high-voltage electrical wires.
- Guide bar rails demand deburring with a flat file every twenty cutting hours
- Chain oil delivery ports require wire probe cleaning after every work shift
- Motor air vent screens demand compressed air cleanouts every forty operating hours
