8 in. 20V MAX Cordless Pole Saw (Tool Only) with Bonus Lithium-Ion Premium (1) 5.0Ah Battery Pack Included

I have seen winter blend and summer blend bar oil. I would stay with the appropriate oil labelled for chainsaw use.

better deal get the one that comes with the battery and charger because you could not buy a battery and charger for what the extra cost of the saw and battery and charger

Yes you can use the 20V or 60V Flexvolt batteries. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is in a DeWALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V Max* battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a 120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max* battery.

Yes - you can use the 20V and also use the 60V (Flexvolt) batteries with the Pole Saw. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is in a DeWALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V Max* battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a 120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max* battery.

Zia: I used the Pole Saw for about 2 hours - did not have to adjust the chain - worked like a charm. But, all chains eventually come loose and need to be tightened. If the chain is loose - will not cut properly. Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. A, C, E, F) 1. With the pole saw still on a firm surface check the saw chain 14 tension. The tension is correct when the saw chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8" (3 mm) away from the guide bar 13 with light force from the middle finger and thumb as shown in Figure E. There should be no “sag” between the guide bar and the saw chain on the underside as shown in Figure F. 2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen hex head screws 12 . 3. Rotate the chain tension screw 19 in the front of the housing using the flat screwdriver end of the wrench. 4. Do not over-tension the saw chain as this will lead to excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar and saw chain. Over tensioning also reduces the amount of cuts you will get per battery charge. 5. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten hex head screws 12 to clamp bar. 6. When the saw chain is new check the tension frequently (after disconnecting battery) during the first 2 hours of use as a new chain stretches slightly. NOTE: Saw chain tension should be adjusted regularly. 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 battery removed. Installing and Removing Saw Chain (Fig. A–D) WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental operation, insure that battery is disconnected from the handle before performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury. CAUTION: Sharp moving blade. Always wear protective gloves when installing or removing the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you when it is not running. 1. Place the pole saw on a firm surface. Rotate the two hex head screws 12 counterclockwise with the hex wrench 16 provided. 2. Remove sprocket cover 11 , bar clamp 10 , and hex head screws.

BackYardJackOfAllTrades I contacted Dewault Customer Service to confirm their are today no other attachments that can be used on the Pole Saw - they agreed no other attachments. Certainly something they should consider - one pole - one power source - multible attachments - cutter - trimmer - chain saw etc...

No and no

Hello AJ, Yes, the 5.0Ah DEWALT battery will charge on any DEWALT 20V charger.

About 4’-5’ this cannot be used as a hand saw without unorthodox help. I trimmed my tree by first pruning the smaller branches then the larger pieces I cut small enough to fit in my fire pit. The longer branches I clamped to an portable sawhorse and was able to cut into smaller pieces.
