Cutting Performance
The XAU01ZB is engineered to provide cutting performance comparable to a 30cc gas-powered pole saw. Makita states that the saw offers a cutting speed approximately 20% faster than a 31.4cc gas engine pole saw. With two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, the platform can deliver up to 140 cuts in 4x4 cedar, depending on operating conditions and cutting technique.
Torque Boost Mode
When the chain encounters a thicker or harder branch, Torque Boost Mode helps increase available power to maintain cutting performance. This makes the pole saw useful for a wider range of pruning and branch-removal jobs.
10-Inch Cutting System
The saw uses a 10-inch guide bar paired with a 3/8-inch low-profile chain with a .050-inch gauge. The chain can reach speeds of up to 3,940 feet per minute, providing fast cutting action for landscaping and tree-maintenance work.
Built for Outdoor Work
Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) uses protective seals designed to help channel dust and water away from key internal components. This adds durability when the tool is used in challenging outdoor environments. The tool also incorporates Star Protection Computer Controls, which monitors operating conditions and can stop the tool when overload, over-discharge, or overheating conditions are detected.
Ideal Applications
The Makita XAU01ZB is suitable for:
Tree and branch pruning
Landscape maintenance
Overhead branch cutting
Property maintenance
Professional landscaping
Groundskeeping
Farm and rural property maintenance
General outdoor cutting applications

36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 10" Pole Saw
10" Saw Chain

Important Note
The XAU01ZB has a fixed 8-foot shaft. It should not be confused with Makita's XAU02ZB telescoping model, which adjusts from 9 to 13 feet.
