The high-efficiency brushless motor maximises runtime and motor life, delivering up to 70 cuts per charge through 4x4 inch pressure-treated pine on a single DeWalt 18V battery (sold separately). The 20cm (8 inch) bar and 8.6 m\/sec chain speed provide fast, clean cuts through branches, deadwood, thick brush, and bundled wood. The continuously variable throttle switch gives you full control over cutting speed for different branch thicknesses and timber types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic oiling and bolt lock tensioning for low-maintenance operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe automatic oiling system lubricates the chain and bar during use without manual intervention, reducing friction, extending chain life, and keeping cuts smooth. The bolt lock chain tensioning system provides reliable bar retention, and the onboard wrench is stored conveniently inside the bar cover so it is always to hand for tensioning adjustments in the field. These features reduce downtime and maintenance requirements compared to manually oiled pruning saws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.08kg lightweight with dual handles and safety features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just 2.08kg without battery, the DCMPS520N is 61% lighter and 3 times more compact than the DeWalt DCCS620 chainsaw, significantly reducing fatigue during extended pruning sessions, overhead cutting, and work at height. Two handles with additional hand protection provide secure grip and control. The safety switch-on lock prevents accidental activation, the metal kick-back guard reduces the risk of contact with fences, walls, and obstacles, and the integrated metal pruning tip guard provides stability during upcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart of the DeWalt 18V XR cordless system:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DCMPS520N is compatible with all DeWalt 18V XR and FlexVolt battery packs, allowing you to share batteries across your existing DeWalt cordless tool collection.

Use the onboard wrench (stored inside the bar cover) to tension the chain to the correct tightness: the chain should be snug against the bar with enough slack to pull away slightly by hand. Fill the automatic oiler reservoir with bar and chain oil. Slide a charged DeWalt 18V XR or FlexVolt battery onto the base of the saw until it clicks into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting technique and safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrip both handles firmly, activate the safety switch-on lock, and squeeze the variable throttle to start the chain. Allow the chain to reach full speed before making contact with the branch. Let the chain do the cutting work without forcing the bar through the timber. For larger branches, use an undercut first (cutting upward from below) to prevent the branch tearing bark as it falls, then complete the cut from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain tensioning and automatic oiler maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck chain tension before each use and after every 10-15 minutes of cutting. A correctly tensioned chain sits snug against the bar without sagging. The automatic oiler lubricates the chain during operation, but check the oil reservoir level before each session and refill with bar and chain oil as needed. The metal pruning tip guard helps maintain stability when performing upcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning, storage, and chain replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter use, wipe the bar, chain, and body with a dry cloth to remove sap, sawdust, and moisture.
