I have this saw and while it isn't the fastest. I use it to cut through 1" - 8" branches regularly with out issue. One thing I like about it is it is light weight making it easy to run through a bunch of branches without breaking a sweat.

I can only guess you need to get a new blade, sharpen the one you have, grease the bar, adjust the blade tension or clean out behind the cover. There is no way it should be cutting like that.

Cutting through a 2" branch should not take long enough for you to bother keeping track. Check to make sure the chain is not on backwards. It bet it got flipped around at the factory and you are cutting with the back side rather than the sharp side.

This DeWalt 20V MAX 12 inch cordless chainsaw kit is best suited to light yard cleanup and branch trimming, with its lightweight build making it easy to carry through a pile of limbs. It can handle branches from about 1 inch up to 8 inches, and the 9Ah FlexVolt battery is reported to work well. The main drawback is oil leakage, especially when stored upright, which can require draining or careful side storage. Cutting speed also depends heavily on chain setup and maintenance.

Common Questions (3)

  • Yes, oil leakage is a recurring issue, especially when the saw is stored upright. Storing it on its side with the oil cap facing up can reduce leaks, but some owners still drain the oil after each use to avoid mess.

  • It can handle regular branch trimming and even larger cuts, with reports of 1"-8" branches and an 8-10" tree being cut successfully. It is not especially fast, and slow cutting can point to a dull or misinstalled chain, poor tension, or a dirty bar.

    deadrunnerCyanHealth719kevmo911

  • Yes, it works with larger batteries, and a 9Ah FlexVolt battery is reported to be great on this saw. A 5Ah battery can help a little compared with 3Ah packs, but it does not fully solve weak cutting performance if the chain or setup is the problem.

I have a Dewalt chainsaw and would not buy one again. If you set the saw upright then chain oil leaks badly out of the fill cap. Dewalt says just drain the oil when you are not using it, a real hassle. I keep it on its side when it's not in use, you would think Dewalt could solve this issue since no other chainsaws have this issue

Electric chainsaws last for about a single tree of moderate thickness on a single charge. I have had a few trees needing to be cut down that required more than one charge. This chainsaw is junk. Chainsaws and lawnmowers should be gas.

I had this specific chainsaw, FYI. I bought into the Dewalt ecosystem, so it was only natural. I returned it after one tree and decided I'd rather use my axe and bow saw than suffer through this POS.
Gas lawn tools are illegal to buy in California as of 2024. But even for other places, there's no reason to continue using gas over electric. Your saw that only lasts for one tree is broken. Either that, or the battery is ancient and needs to be replaced. Which is a thing you can do, by the way. Just get another battery so you can be charging one while using the other.

Don't blame an entire energy source for your one individual tool being bad. Electric tools can be just as powerful or more than gas tools, and they get better every year. Maybe try a big boy 60 volt tool if you wanna do big boy work, instead of the 20 volt tools that are decades old now.

It's apparently illegal to sell them in California as of 2024, but that doesn't mean it's illegal to own them.

Still, that's dystopian. Lawn tools are far less contributors to any pollution compared to...pretty much anything. Politicians trying to justify their paychecks, yet again.

>Don't blame an entire energy source for your one individual tool being bad

There isn't a single, good electric chainsaw. Just like there isn't a single, good electric lawnmower. I have a litany of electric tools. I have owned a litany of electric chainsaws and lawnmowers - of which I have returned them all. They're garbage. I had Dewalt's ~60V offerings. Those ones ran out of battery before I even felled a single tree. Yeah, 2" poplars it probably would cut through like butter. Anything those electric chainsaws are good for can be easier felled with an axe.

I had this one first before I returned it and tried 2 different 60v Dewalt chainsaws.
