The 40V max XGT® Brushless 10" Pole Saw (GAU01) is 8' in length to allow the user to reach higher and trim branches with ease. The Makita-built brushless motor delivers the power of a 35cc gas pole saw. The Pole Saw delivers up to 185 cuts in 4x4 cedar on a single charge of a 40V XGT® 5.0Ah battery, allowing the user to cut and trim for longer periods of time.
The Pole Saw has convenience features that include a lateral chain tensioner with a single stud for efficient chain retention and a captured bar nut that is retained in the sprocket cover for easier setup and maintenance. There is also a translucent bar oil tank with a large opening that aids in adding oil and keeping the bar properly lubricated. Additional features include Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT®), which electronically turns off the motor if the rotation of the attachment is suddenly forced to stop.
Durability features include Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for improved dust and water resistance, and IPX4 weather-resistant construction.
XGT® is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers utilizing 40v max lithium-ion batteries.
