DeWalt Cordless Chainsaws

If you’re looking for power, durability, and convenience, a DeWalt cordless chainsaw excels in all three. This cordless power tool can handle even the most demanding outdoor tasks and is specifically designed to meet the needs of professional landscapers and arborists.

Take the DeWalt DCM565N Cordless Chainsaw 18v, for example. Its brushless motor provides performance and precision that you can trust, and its long-lasting battery life means you can power through jobs efficiently with no wasted time.

The chain and bar of your DeWalt cordless chainsaw will stay operational with the help of its automatic oiling system, meaning you can focus less on maintenance and more on the task at hand.

With its compact and ergonomic design, it’s easier than ever to take your DeWalt cordless chainsaw from site to site. It’s perfectly suited for site work like clearing branches, preparing firewood, or pruning.
 

What batteries work in a DeWalt chainsaw?

DeWalt cordless chainsaws are compatible with the entire 18v XR battery range, so you can interchange batteries across multiple DeWalt power tools. Reduce time spent on job sites and never worry about not having the right battery again.

DeWalt’s XR batteries come in different amp-hour (Ah) capacities ranging from 1.5Ah to 5+Ah, so you can select a battery that suits your runtime needs. Always go with higher Ah batteries for longer, more demanding tasks.

The DeWalt XR battery system also means you can benefit from DeWalt’s lithium-ion technology, providing fade-free power and quick recharging capabilities.
 

Does a DeWalt battery chainsaw need oil?

Despite having a nifty auto-oiling system, we still recommend regular bar and chain oiling to reduce wear. 

How the auto-oiling system works

The DeWalt auto-oiling system supplies oil to the chainsaw’s bar and chain during operation. You’ll find a small reservoir where you can add the oil, and your DeWalt cordless chainsaw will release a controlled amount to keep the chain sufficiently lubricated while you work. This feature helps reduce friction, prevents overheating, and minimises wear.

Why is regular bar and chain oiling necessary?

You’ll still need to check and refill the oil level in your DeWalt cordless chainsaw. Over time, the oil in the reservoir will reduce. Running your DeWalt chainsaw with a low oil level can cause the bar and chain to wear more quickly. 

Always ensure that the reservoir has enough oil before you begin your task. This will help maximise your DeWalt Cordless Chainsaw’s lifespan in the long run.

FAQs

How long does a dewalt cordless chainsaw last?

A DeWalt cordless chainsaw can run for 30 to 60 minutes on a single charge from 5Ah batteries. This time also depends on the cutting intensity of the task. For a longer runtime, we recommend using batteries with a higher amp-hour (Ah).

Can you use a DeWalt Cordless Chainsaw for heavy-duty work?

De-Walt cordless chainsaws are well-suited for medium-duty tasks like pruning, trimming, and landscaping. If your work involves the continuous cutting of large trees, then a petrol powered chainsaw may offer you a greater power output and a longer runtime.

What is the typical lifespan of a cordless chainsaw?

With proper maintenance, including frequent bar and chain oiling, a DeWalt cordless chainsaw can easily last 5 to 10 years. Make sure to regularly check the bar, chain, and battery condition of your battery-powered chainsaw to maintain optimal performance.
