The Makita-built brushless motor delivers the power of a 35cc gas pole saw. The 40V max XGT delivers up to 150 cuts in 4x4 cedar on a single charge of an XGT 4.0Ah 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. XGT is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOUTPOWER: Makita-built brushless motor delivers the power of a 35cc gas pole saw\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOUTSMART: Up to 30% faster than gas*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOUTLAST: Up to 150 cuts in 4x4 cedar with 40V XGT 4.0Ah battery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8 foot fixed length for extended reach\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLateral chain tensioning with single stud for efficient chain retention\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaptured bar nut is retained in sprocket cover for convenient setup and maintenance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBranch hook for pulling trimmed branches from trees\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTranslucent bar oil tank with large opening for easier refilling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes 10\" sprocket nose guide bar and 3\/8\" low profile pitch, .050\" gauge chain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIPX4 weather-resistant construction for durability and long life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- more --\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"attribute-values\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"99\" data-end=\"307\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"101\" data-end=\"307\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"101\" data-end=\"129\"\u003eGas‑Level Cutting Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brushless 40V Max XGT motor delivers power on par with a \u003cstrong data-start=\"187\" data-end=\"209\"\u003e35 cc gas pole saw\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving strong performance for trimming thicker branches. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"308\" data-end=\"503\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"310\" data-end=\"503\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"310\" data-end=\"340\"\u003eReliable Cordless Runtime:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to \u003cstrong data-start=\"347\" data-end=\"372\"\u003e150 cuts in 4×4 cedar\u003c\/strong\u003e on a single 4.0 Ah battery — substantial runtime for yard work without frequent recharges. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"504\" data-end=\"695\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"506\" data-end=\"695\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"506\" data-end=\"535\"\u003eExtended Reach for Trees:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fixed \u003cstrong data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"558\"\u003e8 ft. length\u003c\/strong\u003e lets you cleanly reach higher limbs without ladders — ideal for garden and property maintenance. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"696\" data-end=\"855\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"698\" data-end=\"855\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"698\" data-end=\"728\"\u003eUser‑Friendly Maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"754\"\u003eLateral chain tensioner\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem data-start=\"759\" data-end=\"777\"\u003ecaptured bar nut\u003c\/em\u003e simplify chain adjustments and setup. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"1103\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"1103\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"877\"\u003eDurable \u0026amp;
