WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read the instruction manual.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

English
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a
) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power

The
slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward
you or pull you off balance.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain
may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
Use of the
chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches
an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain
in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the
guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw
which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user,
you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
•
Holding the
chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
Saw
chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
Operation of a chain saw
while up in a tree may result in personal injury
Slippery
or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance
or control of the chain saw.
When the tension in the wood fibers is released the spring
loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw
out of control.
4
English
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
This
helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the
chain saw in unexpected situations.
Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
(1.) Grip Saw Firmly. Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when
the motor is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles. Chain saw will pull forward when cutting on the
bottom edge of the bar, and push backward when cutting along the top
edge of the bar.
(2.) Do not over reach.
(3.) Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
(4.) Don’t let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground
or other obstruction.
(5.) Don’t cut above shoulder height.
(6.) Use devices such as low kickback chain and reduced kickback
guide bars that reduce the risks associated with kickback.
(7.) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or the equivalent.
(8.) Never let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of the
guide bar.
(9.) Keep the working area free from obstructions such as other
trees, branches, rocks, fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid
any obstruction that your saw chain could hit while you are cutting
through a particular log or branch.
(10.) Keep your saw chain sharp and properly tensioned. A loose or
dull chain can increase the chance of kickback. Check tension at
regular intervals with the motor stopped and tool unplugged, never
with the motor running.
(11.) Begin and continue cutting only with the chain moving at full
speed. If the chain is moving at a slower speed, there is a greater
chance for kickback to occur.
(12.) Cut one log at a time.
(13.) Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut. Engage
ribbed bumpers into wood and allow chain to reach full speed before
proceeding with cut.
(14.) Do not attempt plunge cuts or bore cuts.
(15.) Watch for shifting logs or other forces that could close a cut and pinch
or fall into chain.
WARNING: The following features are included on your saw
to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however such features will not
totally eliminate this dangerous reaction. As a chain saw user do not
rely only on safety devices. You must follow all safety precautions,
instructions, and maintenance in this manual to help avoid kickback
and other forces which can result in serious injury.
• designed with a small radius
tip which reduces the size of the kickback danger zone on bar
tip. A reduced - kickback guide bar is one which has been
demonstrated to significantly reduce the number and seriousness
of kickbacks when tested in accordance with safety requirements
for electric chain saws.
• , designed with a contoured depth gauge
and guard link which deflect kickback force and allow wood to
gradually ride into the cutter. A low-kickback chain is a chain
which has met kickback performance requirements of ANSI
B175.1-2012.

• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the
charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of
fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry
location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge
has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure
each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65 °F and
75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch
while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate
a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;

This chain saw is equipped with an auto oiling system that keeps the
saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated. The oil level indicator
(I) shows the level of the oil in the chain saw. If the oil level is less than
a quarter full, remove the battery from the chain saw and refill with
the correct type of oil.
Always empty oil tank when finished cutting.
NOTE: Use a high quality bar and chain oil for proper chain and
bar lubrication. As a temporary substitute, a non-detergent SAE30
weight motor oil can be used. The use of a vegetable based bar
and chain oil is recommended when pruning trees. Mineral oil is not
recommended because it may harm trees. Never use waste oil or
very
thick oil. These may damage your chain saw.

The process of cutting down a tree. Be sure battery is fully charged
before felling a tree so you can finish on a single charge. Do not fell
trees in high wind conditions.
WARNING: Felling can result in injury. It should only
be performed by a trained person.
• A retreat path should be planned and cleared as necessary
before cuts are started. The retreat path should extend back and
You may lose control
of saw causing severe injury.

diagonally to the rear of
the expected line of fall.
()
• Before felling is started,
consider the natural
lean of the tree, the
location of larger
branches and the wind
direction to judge which
way the tree will fall.
Have wedges (wood,
plastic or aluminum)
and a heavy mallet handy. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples, and wire from the tree where the felling cuts are to be
made.
• Notching Undercut - Make the notch 1/3 of the diameter of the
tree, perpendicular to the direction of the fall. Make the lower
horizontal notching cut first. This will help to avoid pinching of
either the saw chain or the guide bar when the second notch cut
is being made ().
• Felling Back Cut - Make the felling back cut at least 2 inches
(51mm) higher than the horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling
back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling
back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood
keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction.
Do not cut through the
hinge ().
• As the felling cut gets
close to the hinge the
tree should begin to fall.
If there is any chance
that the tree may not fall
in the desired direction
or it may rock back and
bind the saw chain, stop
cutting before the felling
cut is complete and use wedges to open the cut and drop the
tree along the desired line of fall. When the tree begins to fall
remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor, put the
chain saw down, then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for
overhead limbs falling and watch your footing ().
LIMBING
Removing the branches
from a fallen tree. When
limbing, leave larger lower
limbs to support the log
off the ground. Remove
the small limbs in one cut.
Branches under tension
should be cut from the
bottom of the branch
towards the top to avoid
binding the chain saw as
shown in . Trim limbs from opposite side keeping tree stem
between you and saw. Never make cuts with saw between your legs
or straddle the limb to be cut.
WARNING:
Cutting a felled tree or
log into lengths. How you
should cut depends on
how the log is supported.
Use a saw horse
( ) whenever
possible.

• always stand on the uphill side of the log. When
“cutting through”, to maintain complete control reduce the cutting
pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the
chain saw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After
completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move
the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from cut to cut.
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Do not use
solvents to clean the plastic housing of the saw. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed
by a DeWALT authorized service center, always using identical
replacement parts.
Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life for your chain saw.
After every few hours of use, remove the sprocket cover, guide bar
and chain and clean thoroughly using a soft bristle brush. Ensure oiling
hole on bar is clear of debris. When replacing dull chains with sharp
chains it is good practice to flip the chain bar from bottom to top.
CAUTION:
The chain is sharp and can cut
you when it is not running.
WARNING:
Failure to do
this could result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the ground or
a nail while cutting.
