High Branch Pruning Made Easy with Makita’s New Cordless Pole Saw

Makita has added a new telescopic pole saw to its growing range of LXT tools designed for professional outdoor use. With a 200mm cutting width, 2.5m reach and lightweight design, the new DUA200 18V LXT Brushless Pole Saw provides effortless reach and precision for high branch applications.

Delivering a chain speed of 6.7m/s for smooth cutting, Makita’s new DUA200 extendable pole saw can reach from 1.6m to over 2.5m when fully assembled. This, combined with a lightweight head section and equipped with Torque Boost Mode that maximises output to power through thicker branches, makes Makita’s latest launch a highly effective tool and ideal companion for pruning and trimming high branches.

When used with a 6.0Ah BL1860B Battery, the pole saw offers up to 600 cuts in 50 mm cedar square timber and in addition to its high work efficiency, Makita has incorporated several design features to offer increased ergonomics and greater versality for users to tackle a range of cutting situations.

The slim, lightweight design of the tool head not only reduces the burden during operation, it also enhances accessibility to branches and increases manoeuvrability. Furthermore, the tool head is adjustable which can be locked and unlocked with a single touch, enabling precise positioning in nine stages between 60° upwards and 60° downwards. It also includes a convenient branch hook to easily remove cut branches.

Other features include a translucent bar oil tank with a large opening for straightforward refilling, and the tool-less bar tensioning and automatic chain lubrication simplifies maintenance and ensures consistent performance.

On the new launch, Kevin Brannigan Marketing Manager at Makita said: “This new tool is part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, which encompasses over 300 tools from garden machines, power tools and accessories such as kettles and heated jackets – all powered by the same battery. We are delighted to add this fantastic pole saw to the range, that delivers impressive performance for high drain applications, while reducing fatigue for the operator.”
