Care And Maintenance - DeWalt DCCS620B Instruction Manual

English
Cutting a felled tree or log into lengths. How you should
cut depends on how the log is supported. Use a saw horse
(see Fig. Q) whenever possible.
Fig. Q
• Always start a cut with the chain running at full speed.
• Place the bottom spike
area of the initial cut as shown in Fig. R.
• Turn the chain saw on then rotate the chain and bar
down into the tree, using the spike as a hinge.
• Once the chain saw gets to a 45 degree angle, level the
chain saw again and repeat steps until you cut fully through.
• When the tree is supported along its entire length, make
a cut from the top (overbuck), but avoid cutting the earth as
this will dull your saw quickly.

First, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck).
Then make the finishing cut by overbucking to meet the
first cut.

First, cut 1/3 down from the top overbuck. Then make the
finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the
first cut.

• When on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the
log. When "cutting through", to maintain complete control
reduce the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without
relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don't let the
chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait
for the saw chain to stop before you move the chain saw.
Always stop the motor before moving from cut to cut.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Do not
use solvents to clean the plastic housing of the saw. Never
let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of
the tool into a liquid.
iMPORTAnT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed
by a D WALT authorized service center, always using
e
identical replacement parts.
Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life for your
chain saw.
Chain and Bar
After every few hours of use, remove the sprocket cover,
guide bar and chain and clean thoroughly using a soft
bristle brush. Ensure oiling hole on bar is clear of debris.
When replacing dull chains with sharp chains it is good
practice to flip the chain bar from bottom to top.
Saw Chain Sharpening

CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you
when it is not running.

WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that battery is removed from the tool before
performing the following operations. Failure to do this could
result in serious personal injury.
nOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the
ground or a nail while cutting.
To get the best possible performance from your chain saw
it is important to keep the teeth of the chain sharp. Follow
these helpful tips for proper saw chain sharpening:
1. For best results use a 4.5 mm file and a file holder or filing
guide to sharpen your chain. This will ensure you always get
the correct sharpening angles.
2. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth
gauge of the cutter.
3. Fig. U- Keep the correct top plate
of 30° on your file guide parallel with your chain (file at 60°
from chain viewed from the side).
4. Sharpen cutters on one side of the chain first. File from
the inside of each cutter to the outside. Then turn your saw
around and repeat the processes (2, 3, 4) for cutters on the
other side of the chain.
nOTE: Use a flat file to file the tops of the rakers (portion
of chain link in front of the cutter) so they are about
