Filling The Oil Reservoir - DeWalt XR LI-ION DCMPS567N Original Instructions Manual

2. Insert battery pack into the charger as described in the
charger section of this manual.
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some D WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which
e
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button 27 . A combination of the three green LED lights will
illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level
of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge
will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
nOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end-user application.
Installing and Removing Saw Chain
(Fig. A, C–E)

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
provided.
2. Remove sprocket cover
head screws.
3. To remove the saw chain
front of the housing using the flat screwdriver end of the
wrench. Turning the screw counterclockwise allows the
guide bar 13 to recede and reduces the tension on the
chain so that it may be removed.
4. Lift the worn saw chain out of the groove in the guide bar.
5. Flip guide bar over.
6. To replace the saw chain, check to make sure that the slot in
the guide bar is over the location pins
that hole below the slot is located over the adjustment pin.
7. Place new chain in groove of guide bar and around
sprocket. Make sure saw teeth are facing correct direction by
matching the graphic on housing or guide bar.
8. Rotate the screw in the front of the housing clockwise to
increase the chain tension.
9. Replace sprocket cover, bar clamp, and hex head screws.
10. Follow the instructions in the section Adjusting
Chain Tension.
Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. A, D, F, G)
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 3 mm away from the guide bar
with light force from the middle finger and thumb as shown
, bar clamp , and hex
11 10
14 , rotate the screw 20 in the
shown in Fig. E and
21
in Fig. F. There should be no "sag" between the guide bar
and the saw chain on the underside as shown in Fig. G.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen hex head
screws .
12
3. Rotate the screw
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. Overtensioning 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.
Saw Chain and Guide Bar Oiling (Fig. H)
Auto Oiling System
This pole saw is equipped with an auto oiling system that keeps
the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated. The oil level
indicator 25 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 pole
saw and refill with the correct type of oil.
nOTE: 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
16
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
pole saw.

Filling the Oil Reservoir

• Remove the oil cap
recommended bar and chain oil until the oil level has
reached the top of the oil level indicator
• Refit the oil cap.
• Periodically switch the chain saw off and check the oil
level indicator to ensure the bar and chain are being
properly oiled.
