Telescopic pruning saw with 30 cm extension, LXT 2x18V, 5.0 Ah DUA301PT2

Cable-Free Mobility and Reach

Powering the unit with two 18 V LXT® batteries (totaling 36 V) eliminates the need to drag extension cords, which is crucial for safety and freedom of movement when working at heights. The device offers a total reach of up to 380 cm (depending on the operator's height), allowing branch trimming even in the highest parts of trees while remaining safely on the ground. The telescopic shaft, tool-free adjustable from 260 to 380 cm, provides flexibility to adapt the length to specific terrain conditions—from low shrubs to high branches. This means installers or gardeners do not need to carry additional extensions or use ladders, significantly speeding up work and reducing the risk of falls.

Cutting Performance and Work Ergonomics

The tool head is designed to be slim and lightweight, facilitating maneuvering between dense branches without the risk of chain binding. The brushless DC motor (BLDC) delivers power comparable to gasoline engines with a displacement of approx. 35 cm³, generating a chain speed of up to 20 m/s. This speed translates into fast and smooth cutting of wood up to 30 cm in diameter (guide bar length). A key design feature is the placement of the motor at the lower part of the boom, which improves the unit's balance and reduces operator fatigue during prolonged overhead work. An additional convenience is the branch hook integrated into the head, allowing easy removal of cut sections without bending over or using extra tools.

Durability and Kit Completeness

The device is equipped with XPT (Xtreme Protection Technology), which enhances resistance to dust and moisture, making it suitable even for harsher weather conditions or forest work. The chain lubrication system operates via gravity, and the 160 ml tank ensures continuous operation without frequent oil refills. The kit includes two 5.0 Ah Li-Ion batteries and a DC18RD charger, enabling uninterrupted work—while one battery powers the tool, the other can charge or stand ready for replacement. Essential accessories are also included: a 30 cm guide bar, cutting chain (pitch 3/8", bar groove width 1.1 mm), cutting assembly cover, file with holder, and carrying straps that distribute the unit's weight across the user's shoulders.

Thanks to the LXT® system, the device is compatible with a wide range of other Makita gardening tools powered by the same battery type. This solution allows for optimizing investment costs in the machinery park—the same cells can power pruners, hedge trimmers, or blowers. The construction features an anti-fall captive nut, increasing safety during head assembly and disassembly. The entire unit is packed in a sturdy transport carton, ready for immediate use upon unpacking. It is worth noting parameters such as the chain travel speed reaching up to 20 m/s and the wide range of shaft length adjustment, which determine the effectiveness of field work.
