WORX Cordless Pole Saw 20V 8in (WG349) – Telescoping 13.3 ft Reach, Lightweight, On-Tool Tensioning

Designed for homeowners who need a compact, lightweight solution for trimming and pruning, the WORX WG349 combines an 8" guide bar with a telescoping pole and an adjustable head so you can reach higher branches without climbing ladders. Sold as a bare tool, this model accepts WORX 20V batteries (battery and charger sold separately), delivering a balanced mix of mobility and cutting performance for yard maintenance around trees, shrubs, and tall hedges.

How far can I reach with the WORX WG349 to trim tree limbs?

The WG349 extends to a total working length of up to about 13.3 feet thanks to its telescoping pole and the added length from the bar and handle. This reach makes it practical to prune second-story limbs while remaining on the ground.

• Telescoping pole — tool-free adjustment up to roughly 13 feet
• Total working reach — approximately 13.3 feet when fully extended
• Rotating handle and angled head — improves access to awkward branches

What cutting power and speed does the 8" chainsaw provide?

Although compact, the 8" chainsaw bar on the WG349 runs at a cutting speed designed for efficient pruning, moving the chain at about 16 feet per second. That speed helps the saw slice through small- to medium-sized limbs cleanly without bogging down in routine yard work.

• 8" guide bar optimized for pruning and light limb removal
• Chain speed — approximately 16 ft/s for steady cutting action
• Ideal for limbs and branches typically found around residential properties

How easy is the WG349 to handle and maintain during use?

Weighing around 8 pounds, the pole saw balances portability with control so you can manage extended trimming sessions with less fatigue. Maintenance is simplified with on-tool chain tensioning and automatic lubrication to keep the chain running smoothly between jobs.

• Lightweight construction — about 8 lbs for reduced arm and shoulder strain
• Tool-free chain tension adjustment — quick turn-button tensioning
• Automatic chain oiler — continuous lubrication to extend chain life

Can I cut at different angles and work vertically or horizontally?

The WG349 features an adjustable head with three preset cutting angles (0°, 15°, 30°) and a rotatable handle so you can position the bar for both vertical and horizontal cuts. Those adjustments make it easier to reach undersides of branches or trim close to the trunk without awkward body positioning.

• Adjustable head — three angles for better approach to branches
• Rotating handle — switch between vertical and horizontal cutting quickly
• Improved safety — cut from the ground with more control and stability

Who is this for? The WORX WG349 is aimed at homeowners and property caretakers who want a user-friendly, cordless pruning tool that reduces ladder use while handling everyday trimming tasks. Because it’s a bare tool, it’s best for buyers who already own WORX 20V batteries or plan to add compatible batteries and a charger to build a modular cordless tool kit for yard work.
