Setup and Assembly
The DEWALT 20V MAX* XR Chainsaw is designed for quick and easy setup. The unit comes largely pre-assembled. Follow these steps to prepare your chainsaw for operation:
- Charge the Battery: Fully charge the 20V MAX* 5Ah Lithium Ion Battery using the provided charger. Ensure the battery is securely seated in the charger and allow it to charge until the indicator light confirms a full charge.
- Install the Battery: Align the charged battery with the battery port on the chainsaw handle and slide it in until it clicks securely into place.
- Check Chain Tension: The chainsaw features tool-free chain tensioning. Verify the chain tension by pulling the chain away from the bar. It should snap back into place. If adjustment is needed, use the bar tightening knob to achieve proper tension. Refer to Figure 3 for key features.
- Fill Bar Oil Reservoir: Locate the bar oil reservoir cap. Unscrew the cap and fill the reservoir with appropriate bar and chain oil (not included). Ensure the cap is securely tightened after filling.
- Remove Bar Cover: Before operation, slide off the hard bar cover from the 12-inch bar and chain.

Operating Instructions
Always prioritize safety when operating the chainsaw. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including eye protection, hearing protection, gloves, and sturdy footwear.
- Starting the Chainsaw: To activate the chainsaw, depress the safety button located on the handle, then squeeze the trigger. The chain will begin to move. Release the trigger to stop the chain.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your DEWALT chainsaw.
- Chain Lubrication: Regularly check and refill the bar oil reservoir. Proper lubrication is crucial for chain and bar longevity. It is recommended to check oil levels before each use.
- Chain Tensioning: Periodically check the chain tension. The tool-free chain tensioning system allows for easy adjustments. A properly tensioned chain should be snug but still allow for manual movement around the bar.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean sawdust and debris from the chainsaw, especially around the bar, chain, and motor vents. Ensure the battery is removed before cleaning.
- Storage: Always remove the battery and attach the hard bar cover before storing the chainsaw. Store in a dry, secure location away from children.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chainsaw not starting/running | Battery not charged or improperly installed; Safety button not depressed; Trigger not fully squeezed. | Ensure battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Depress safety button fully before squeezing trigger. |
| Chain not cutting efficiently | Dull chain; Improper chain tension; Low bar oil. | Sharpen or replace chain. Adjust chain tension using the tool-free knob. Refill bar oil reservoir. |
| Bar oil leakage when stored | Common characteristic of some chainsaw designs; Improper storage position. | Store the chainsaw on a piece of cardboard or a tray to catch any drips. Ensure the bar oil cap is tightly secured. This is a known characteristic and does not typically indicate a defect. |
