Husqvarna 530iPT5 cordless telescopic pole saw
The Husqvarna 530iPT5 is a professional cordless telescopic pole saw designed for pruning elevated branches in tree care, landscaping, estate maintenance, orchards and public spaces. Its telescopic shaft extends the machine to 4 metres in overall length, providing a working reach of up to approximately 5 metres depending on the operator and working position.
A high-efficiency brushless motor, 18m/s chain speed and slim 10-inch cutting bar provide fast, controlled cutting without the fuel, starting procedure or exhaust fumes associated with a petrol pole saw. The machine forms part of the professional Husqvarna BLi-X 36V cordless machinery range.
Please note: this is a tool-only machine. A compatible Husqvarna BLi-X 36V battery and charger are required and are not included. The 10-inch guide bar, H00 chain and single harness are included.

Key features and benefits
Up to 5 metres of working reach
The rigid telescopic tube can be adjusted to suit the cutting height, with an extended overall machine length of 4 metres. This gives the operator up to approximately 5 metres of working reach for elevated pruning from ground level.
Professional brushless motor
Husqvarna’s brushless motor produces high, consistent torque with fewer service components than a conventional petrol engine. Consistent power output helps maintain cutting performance as the battery discharges.
Fast 18m/s chain speed
The 10-inch guide bar and 18m/s chain speed are designed to provide fast, clean pruning cuts. The narrow cutting head also gives the operator a clearer view when positioning the saw around branches.
IPX4 weather resistance
The 530iPT5 is rated to IPX4 for resistance to water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for professional outdoor work in changing conditions, subject to the instructions and safety precautions in the operator’s manual.
savE mode for lighter work
Husqvarna’s savE mode reduces motor speed when full output is not required. This can extend useful battery runtime during lighter pruning work.
Ergonomic controls and harness support
The controls are positioned for straightforward operation, while the harness eyelet and included single harness help distribute the machine’s weight during longer working periods.
Battery-through-body design
The battery is fitted horizontally through the body of the machine. This arrangement helps reduce the amount of dirt and moisture that can enter the battery compartment.
Quiet, low-maintenance cordless operation
The battery drivetrain produces less operational noise than a comparable petrol tool and does not require fuel mixing, carburettor maintenance or pull starting. There are also no direct exhaust emissions during use.
Who is the Husqvarna 530iPT5 designed for?
The 530iPT5 is particularly suitable for:
- Professional landscapers and grounds-maintenance teams
- Arboriculture and tree-care work
- Estate, orchard and large-property maintenance
- Local authorities and contractors working in noise-sensitive areas
- Experienced users already invested in the Husqvarna BLi-X 36V system
This is a long, professional machine weighing 5kg before the battery and cutting equipment are fitted. Occasional domestic users with smaller trees may prefer a lighter pole pruner. Browse our wider range of cordless chainsaws and pole pruners to compare the available options.
Battery and charger information
The Husqvarna 530iPT5 uses the professional Husqvarna BLi-X 36V battery system. Actual runtime depends on the battery capacity, branch size, cutting conditions, temperature, battery condition and the amount of time spent using full power.
Battery choice also affects the machine’s overall weight and balance. Contact the Masseys garden machinery team if you need help matching the pole saw to an appropriate battery and charger.
Is the Husqvarna 530iPT5 suitable for felling trees?
No. The 530iPT5 is designed primarily for pruning elevated branches and tree-maintenance work. It should not be presented as a tree-felling saw. For ground-level logging, cross-cutting or felling applications, choose an appropriately sized conventional chainsaw and follow the necessary training and safety requirements.
