Makita DUA200RT 18V LXT Brushless 200mm Extendable Pole Saw 5.0Ah Kit

Makita DUA200RT 18V LXT Brushless 200mm Extendable Pole Saw 5.0Ah Kit

The Makita DUA200RT 18V LXT Brushless 200mm Pole Saw is a lightweight cordless pruning saw designed for cutting high and difficult-to-reach branches. Powered by Makita's 18V LXT Li-ion battery system, it combines excellent reach, manoeuvrability and cordless cutting performance for tree pruning, landscaping and garden maintenance.

Featuring an extendable 1.6m-2.0m pole and an overall assembled tool length of approximately 2.52 metres, the DUA200 provides excellent working reach while allowing the operator to prune elevated branches from ground level.

Its lightweight saw head and efficient brushless motor help reduce operator fatigue while making it easier to accurately position the cutting bar between branches.

The 200mm / 8" guide bar and maximum chain speed of 6.7m/s provide fast, controlled cutting, while Torque Boost Mode maximises output when additional power is required for thicker branches.

For greater versatility, the cutting head features nine adjustment positions across a 120° range, allowing the cutting angle to be adapted to different branches and working positions.

Maintenance is straightforward thanks to tool-less chain adjustment and automatic chain lubrication. The integrated 160ml chain oil tank provides generous oil capacity for longer pruning sessions.

An integrated branch hook helps remove cut or trapped branches, while Makita's eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) improves resistance to dust and water when working in demanding outdoor conditions.

The DUA200RT is supplied as a complete kit, including a Makita BL1850B 18V 5.0Ah LXT battery and DC18RC rapid charger.

What Is the Makita DUA200RT Used For?

The Makita DUA200RT is designed for tree pruning, cutting high branches and maintaining trees, shrubs and vegetation where additional reach is required.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Tree pruning

• Cutting high branches

• Garden maintenance

• Professional landscaping

• Grounds maintenance

• Orchard maintenance

• Cutting back overgrown trees and vegetation

Its lightweight cutting head and extendable pole make it easier to position the saw accurately while working from ground level.

200mm Cutting System

The DUA200RT uses a 200mm / 8-inch guide bar with a Makita 80TXL saw chain.

With a maximum no-load chain speed of 6.7m/s, the saw delivers smooth and controlled cutting performance for branch pruning and general tree maintenance.

Adjustable 1.6m-2.0m Pole

The extendable pole can be adjusted from approximately 1.6m to 2.0m, providing additional reach when working on elevated branches.

When fully assembled, the machine measures approximately 2.52 metres overall, providing substantial reach while retaining the control of a compact 200mm cutting head.

9-Position Adjustable Cutting Head

The cutting head can be positioned through nine stages across a 120° adjustment range, helping the operator approach branches from different angles.

This is particularly useful when pruning dense trees or branches that cannot be approached directly from underneath.

Torque Boost Mode

Torque Boost Mode maximises cutting output when additional power is required, helping the DUA200 work through thicker and more demanding branches.

Automatic Chain Lubrication

The DUA200RT features automatic chain lubrication, continuously supplying oil to the guide bar and chain during operation.

The integrated 160ml chain oil tank provides generous capacity for longer working periods while helping maintain consistent chain performance.

Lightweight Brushless Design

Makita's brushless motor provides efficient cordless power while helping reduce maintenance and improve tool longevity.

The lightweight cutting head reduces the burden on the operator and improves manoeuvrability when positioning the saw at height.

Makita XPT Protection

Makita's eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered to provide improved resistance to dust and water, making the DUA200 suitable for demanding outdoor working environments.

Makita 18V LXT Battery System

The DUA200RT operates from a single Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion battery, making it compatible with Makita's extensive LXT cordless platform.

The RT version is supplied with a Makita BL1850B 18V 5.0Ah LXT battery and DC18RC rapid charger.
