Husqvarna launches Battery MADSaw Dielectric Pole Saw
Husqvarna has introduced its new 525iDEPS MADSaw dielectric pole saw. Designed to assist operator safety during use around live wires and bring new levels of versatility, the 525iDEPS is the first and only dielectric battery-powered pole saw individually tested to meet OSHA standard 1910.269, the company reports.
“The 525iDEPS is an incredibly versatile purpose-built tool in an ultra-compact package,” says Carlos Haddad, vice president of North America, professional products at Husqvarna Group. “No other saw on the market delivers the same performance and versatility as the 525iDEPS MADSaw.”
The new 525iDEPS MADSaw features:
- A non-conductive, lightweight fiberglass shaft, which ensures ample reach while maintaining safe distances, whether aloft in a bucket, in tree or from the ground.
- Interchangeable shaft lengths at either 9 ft. or 12.5 ft., to help operators access hard-to-reach areas, minimizing repositioning and climbing aloft.
- The dielectric midsection can quickly disconnect from the cutting head and powerhead for convenient and easy storage in truck and in shop.
- Removable segments and toolless couplers allow for easy servicing and replacement.
The brushless motor of the battery-powered 525iDEPS coupled with a Husqvarna X-Cut chain on a 12-inch bar enables high, double-sided cutting capacity, balanced operation and optimal performance.
Note: For users who already own Husqvarna’s gas-powered MADSaw, but want to make the switch to battery, the new 525i powerhead is being sold separately for easy adoption.
