It offers complete freedom of movement due to its cordless design. This pruning saw features a brushless motor for high efficiency and long run time, making it 3x more compact (tool only) compared to the DCM565 chainsaw (tool only). Its lightweight and compact design makes it ideal for hard-to-reach places. The automatic chain lubrication optimally lubricates the saw chain during use, reducing wear on the chain and bar. It has a sword length of 20 cm and a two-handed handle with additional hand protection for better control and safety. The innovative, brushless motor technology allows for higher performance with a longer run and lifetime. It includes a continuously variable throttle switch for full performance control with a safety switch-on lock, a tool-free oil tank cap, and a semi-transparent oil tank. A metal guard reduces the risk of kick-back and protects the chain from dirt. This is the XJ Version - Bare Unit - NO BATTERY OR CHARGER SUPPLIED. The pruning saw has a maximum cutting capacity of up to 15cm (6"). It is 61% lighter (tool only) compared to the DCM565 chainsaw (tool only). The automatic oiler keeps the chain lubricated in use and prolongs the life of the bar and chain, preventing bind-up. The two-handed grip with hand guard improves control and safety during application. The power tool style lock-off avoids accidental starts while remaining intuitive to activate, ensuring safety and reducing frustration. The metal pruning tip mitigates kickback risk and improves control and safety. Specifications include: 18v Voltage, DeWalt XR Lithium-Ion Battery Type, 200mm Bar Length, and 2.08kg Product Weight.
