Questions and Answers for undefined

A:  I believe I read a review about someone cutting palm tree branches. If I'm wrong, I'm sure it would cut through pretty much any branch.

A:  Hello! Our 10" Pole Saw can be used for palm tree branches.

A:  The biggest branch I cut with the pole saw was about 6 inches thick cut a slice on the bottom then the rest from the top so the chain wouldn't get stuck and it cut like a champ.

A:  Yes. If you did you would just need the tool. The battery with the kit is 8.0 Ah which is very powerful. Lower Ah batteries mean shorter run time but may be adequate depending on your job.

A:  Yes I did. they work fine.

A:  It is definitely not powerful enough. You have to go with the bigger battery that comes with the package purchased.

A:  No. The power saw uses an 16" chain and the pole saw uses a 10" chain.

A:  No. The M18 chainsaw uses a 16" chain. The pole saw uses a 10" chain.

A:  No the m18 is a 16 inch chain and the pole saw is a 10 inch chain

A:  It is a 10 inch blade

A:  Hi there! Our M18 FUEL™ 10" Pole Saw is 84" in length.

A:  Milwaukee description for the pole saw that includes a 3' extension says it is 10' long. This kit does not include the 3' extension so it is 7' in length.

A:  Hi Will! Our M18 FUEL™ 10" Pole Saw is 84" in length.

A:  Maybe 5 feet.

A:  About 6 ft I believe longer with the 3 foot extension

A:  Can two or more 3' extensions be added to the pole saw? Weighty buy useful. Thanks.

A:  No, you can cut on either side of bar though.

A:  No, fixed straight

A:  No

A:  If you are talking about the angle, no it is stationary.

A:  You can adjust chain tension but not the head

A:  There are various promotions that Milwaukee runs from time to time.

A:  Yes this is the exact same one as them

A:  same number same everything

A:  Pay attention to the price and what comes with it. The pole saw is not one of the tools that I know that comes with a free tool. Other sites may have free attachments that come with it but the extension will not be included.

A:  You can purchase the parts for the pole chain saw separately except the QUIK-LOK power (motor) head. If you purchased the string trimmer tool only with the QUIK-LOK attachment capable you can then add the pole saw attachments. I checked the Milwaukee & HD’s web sites and if you want the pole saw only it’s a kit. If you need a new string trimmer it’s the only one that can be ordered as tool only, then you have the power head to add the attachments. A note; the shoulder strap only comes with the KIT. Have a good one.

A:  tool sold as a kit, you could purchase the pole saw attachment without the motor separately.

A:  No, this cannot be purchased without battery and charger.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes. Just plug the saw straight to the power head. The extension is optional, but I definitely used it more with the extension for the extra reach.

A:  Yes

A:  You can use the tool without using the additional 3 foot extension.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes, it will work with or without extension.

A:  Using the formula [ 2 x chain pitch x sprocket teeth x RPM = in/min ], I get 3/8 x 2 x 6 x 4600 = 20700 in/min or 28.75 ft/sec. Which is pretty good. Just wanted to know if it was accurate or not. NOTE: I assume it has 6 sprocket teeth based on the parts diagram, that could be wrong.

A:  I would disregard the previous answer about the 12.4mps (40.68 ftps), because that is the speed of their 16" 2727-20 model chainsaw (see image from Milwaukee). And no way does a modular pole saw have as high of a chain speed as a chainsaw, especially when its motor spins at 2000 RPM less. Plus Milwaukee themselves said no information was available, so how would HD have it then? Probably a copy and paste kind of error. BUT, considering both the chainsaw and pole saw use the same 3/8" pitch chain and presumably the same sprocket, it is reasonable to expect that if a 6600RPM motor can deliver 12.4mps that a 4600RPM motor would deliver about 8.6mps, or 28.2ftps. So I would say you are pretty close with your original guess, give or take a ft or so.

A:  Not as fat as a gas powered saw but still fast enough to cut well.

A:  Chain speed information is not available.
