Husqvarna Adds 525iDEPS MadSaw Dielectric Pole Saw

Husqvarna launched the 525iDEPS MadSaw dielectric pole saw, designed to assist operator safety during use around live wires and bring new levels of versatility to tree care professionals and utility workers.

"The 525iDEPS is an incredibly versatile purpose-built tool in an ultracompact package," said Carlos Haddad, vice president of North America, Professional Products at Husqvarna Group. 

A dielectric battery-powered pole saw individually tested to meet OSHA standard 1910.269, the 525iDEPS offers precision and performance aloft in a bucket or in tree or from the ground. 

Additional features include:

• Interchangeable shaft lengths at either 9 feet or 12.5 feet 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 the truck and the shop.
• Removable segments and toolless couplers also make servicing and replacement a snap.
• Minimum approach distances (MAD) are the closest distance a qualified employee may approach an energized conductor or object by OSHA standards. The Husqvarna MadSaw directly addresses this standard and enables operators to get the job done efficiently. Its nonconductive, lightweight fiberglass shaft ensures ample reach while maintaining safe distances.
• The quiet and powerful 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.
• When the job is over, the MadSaw is easily stowed for transport and storage.
