The Makita XAU01ZB 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 10" Pole Saw is an excellent choice for various trimming and cutting tasks. With zero emissions, low noise, and high versatility, it offers top - notch performance and long run - time. You won't have to deal with the hassles of gas, and it stays within the 18V LXT battery platform. The 8 - foot shaft allows for efficient branch pruning. Its brushless motor packs the power of a 30cc gas pole saw, suitable for commercial - duty work. It cuts 20% faster than a 31.4cc gas engine pole saw. The torque boost mode helps you cut through thick or tough branches easily. With two 18V LXT 5.0Ah Batteries, it can make up to 140 cuts in 4x4 cedar. Other features include a branch hook, a large - opening translucent bar oil tank, and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™). XPT protects internal parts from water and dust, enhancing performance in harsh conditions. It's part of Makita's 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system. Makita 18V LXT Lithium - Ion Batteries charge quickly, so you can get more work done. Included in the package are a pole saw, a saw chain, a guide bar, a pole saw harness, and a chain cover.
Using the Makita XAU01ZB pole saw is straightforward. First, make sure you attach the battery correctly. The battery isn't included, so you'll need to get two 18V LXT Lithium - Ion ones. Once the battery is in place, you're ready to start trimming branches. The 8 - foot shaft gives you a good reach, and the branch hook can help you pull down trimmed branches. When you encounter thick or hard branches, use the torque boost mode. It'll give you extra power to cut through. Refilling the bar oil is easy because of the large - opening translucent tank. You can see when the oil is running low. For maintenance, keep the chain tensioned properly using the lateral chain tensioning with a single stud. The captured bar nut in the sprocket cover makes setup and maintenance a breeze. Always remember to use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep the tool working well. Also, the tool has Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. The tool comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so you can use it with confidence.
