illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTUREREFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains‑operated (corded) power tool or battery‑operated (cordless)
powertool.
1) Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas inviteaccidents.
b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust orfumes.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
2) Electrical Safety
a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

4
ENGLISH
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
wasdesigned.
b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must berepaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power toolaccidentally.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrainedusers.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained powertools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardoussituation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpectedsituations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another batterypack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury andfire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or afire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electricshock.
b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed orgrounded.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electricshock.
d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electricshock.
e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock.
f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electricshock.
3) Personal Safety
a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personalinjury.
b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non‑skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personalinjuries.
c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off‑position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invitesaccidents.
d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personalinjury.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpectedsituations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in movingparts.
g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust‑relatedhazards.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of asecond.

ENGLISH
i ) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chain saw, always
fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain
saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with
the moving saw chain.
j ) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.
k ) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chain saw
for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non‑wood
building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations
different than intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
l ) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid them.
Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders
while felling a tree.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar
touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push
the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw
which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user,
you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of chain saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
a ) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands
on the saw and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
b ) Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.
This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better
control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
c ) Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
guide bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
d ) Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased
kickback.
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
ofinjury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C may causeexplosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk offire.
6) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.
Additional Chain Saw Safety Warnings
a ) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chain saw is operating. Before you start
the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the saw chain.
b ) Always hold the chain saw with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
c ) Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the chain saw "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
d ) Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment
for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective equipment will
reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
e ) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder,
from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of
a chain saw in this manner could result in serious personal
injury.
f ) Always keep proper footing and operate the chain
saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chain saw.
g ) When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is
released, the spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
h ) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

maintenance in this manual to help avoid kickback and
other forces which can result in seriousinjury.
• Reduced‑Kickback Guide Bar, designed with a small radius
tip which reduces the size of the kickback danger zone on
bar tip. A reduced ‑ kickback guide bar is one which has
been demonstrated to significantly reduce the number and
seriousness of kickbacks when tested in accordance with
safety requirements for electric chainsaws.
• Low‑Kickback Chain, designed with a contoured depth gauge
and guard link which deflect kickback force and allow wood to
gradually ride into the cutter. A low‑kickback chain is a chain
which has met kickback performance requirements of ANSI
B175.1–2012.
• Do not operate chain saw while in a tree, on a ladder, on a
scaffold, or from any unstablesurface.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool “live” and shock theoperator.
• Do not attempt operations beyond your capacity or
experience. Read thoroughly and understand completely all
instructions in thismanual.
• Before you start chain saw, make sure saw chain is not
contacting anyobject.
• Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury
to the operator, helpers, or bystanders may result from one
handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two‑handed
useonly.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil orgrease.
• Do not allow dirt, debris, or sawdust to build up on the motor
or outside airvents.
• Stop the chain saw before setting itdown.
• Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and
saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you offbalance.
Chain Saw Names and Terms
• Bucking ‑ The process of cross cutting a felled tree or log
intolengths.
• Motor Brake (if equipped) ‑ A device used to stop the saw
chain when the trigger isreleased.
• Chain Saw Powerhead ‑ A chain saw without the saw chain
and guidebar.
• Drive Sprocket or Sprocket ‑ The toothed part that drives
the sawchain.
• Felling ‑ The process of cutting down atree.
• Felling Back Cut ‑ The final cut in a tree felling operation made
on the opposite side of the tree from the notchingcut.
• Front Handle ‑ The support handle located at or toward the
front of the chainsaw.
• Front Hand Guard ‑ A structural barrier between the front
handle of a chain saw and the guide bar, typically located
close to the hand position on the fronthandle.
General chain saw safety warnings
a ) Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw.
Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack is
removed. Unexpected actuation of the chain saw
while clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
The Following Precautions Should Be
Followed to Minimize Kickback:
1 . Grip saw firmly. Hold the chain saw firmly with both
hands when the motor is running. Use a firm grip with
thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
Chain saw will pull forward when cutting on the bottom edge
of the bar, and push backward when cutting along the top
edge of thebar.
2 . Do not overreach.
3 . Keep proper footing and balance at alltimes.
4 . Don’t let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch,
ground or otherobstruction.
5 . Don’t cut above shoulderheight.
6 . Use devices such as low kickback chain and reduced
kickback guide bars that reduce the risks associated
withkickback.
7 . Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or theequivalent.
8 . Never let the moving chain contact any object at the tip
of the guidebar.
9 . Keep the working area free from obstructions such
as other trees, branches, rocks, fences, stumps, etc.
Eliminate or avoid any obstruction that your saw chain could
hit while you are cutting through a particular log orbranch.
10 . Keep your saw chain sharp and properly tensioned. A
loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback.
Check tension at regular intervals with the motor stopped and
tool unplugged, never with the motorrunning.
11 . Begin and continue cutting only with the chain moving
at full speed. If the chain is moving at a slower speed, there is
a greater chance for kickback tooccur.
12 . Cut one log at atime.
13 . Use extreme caution when re‑entering a previous cut.
Engage bucking spikes into wood and allow chain to reach full
speed before proceeding withcut.
14 . Do not attempt plunge cuts or borecuts.
15 . Watch for shifting logs or other forces that could close a
cut and pinch or fall intochain.
Kickback Safety Features
WARNING: The following features are included on your
saw to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however such
features will not totally eliminate this dangerous reaction.

Charge Indicators
FCharging I
GFully Charged J
HHot/Cold Pack Delay* K
*The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light
will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack
has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will
turn off and the charger will resume the chargingprocedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack.
The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing tolight.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery
pack to be tested at an authorised servicecentre.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too
cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending
charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack
charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery packlife.
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery packwarms.
The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan designed to
cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on automatically when the
battery pack needs to be cooled. Never operate the charger if the
fan does not operate properly or if ventilation slots are blocked.
Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior of thecharger.
Electronic Protection System
XR Li‑Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
overheating or deepdischarge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection
System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium‑ion battery
pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.
Wall Mounting
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit
upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the
charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a
corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use
the back of the charger as a template for the location of the
mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using
drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 25.4mm long
with a screw head diameter of 7–9mm, screwed into wood to
an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5mm of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. This will reduce risk ofdamage to electric plug
andcord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to

Important Safety Instructions for All
BatteryPacks
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include
catalogue number andvoltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before
using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions
below. Then follow charging proceduresoutlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may
ignite the dust orfumes.
• Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify
battery pack in any way to fit into a non‑compatible
charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious
personalinjury.
• Charge the battery packs only in DeWALTchargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or otherliquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may fall below 4˚C (39.2˚F)
(such as outside sheds or metal buildings in winter), or
reach or exceed 40˚C (104˚F) (such as outside sheds or
metal buildings insummer).
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium‑ion battery packs areburned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye
for 15minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention
is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithiumsalts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists, seek
medicalattention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable
if exposed to spark orflame.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that
has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or
damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with
a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution
may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to
service centre forrecycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place
the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit
boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys,etc.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on
a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs
will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily
knockedover.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials. When
transporting batteries, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit. NOTE: Lithium‑ion batteries should not be put in
checkedbaggage.
DeWALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which
include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous
Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods
(IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning
The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road
(ADR). Lithium‑ion cells and batteries have been tested to
section 38.3of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests andCriteria.
In most instances, shipping a DeWALT battery pack will be
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class
9Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a
lithium‑ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100Watt
Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9.
All lithium‑ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on
the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, DeWALT
does not recommend air shipping lithium‑ion battery packs
alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with
batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt
Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100Wh.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentationrequirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time
the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or
implied, is given. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that its
activities comply with the applicableregulations.
Transporting the FLEXVOLTTM Battery
The DeWALT FLEXVOLTTM battery has two modes: Use
andTransport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLTTM battery stands alone or is
in a DeWALT 18V (20V Max) product, it will operate as an 18V
(20V Max) battery. When the FLEXVOLTTM battery is in a 54V
(60V Max) or a 108V (120V Max) (two 54V (60V Max) batteries)
product, it will operate as a 54V (60V Max)battery.

in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge as
shownbelow.
• As the felling cut gets close to the hinge the tree should
begin to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may not fall
in the desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw
chain, stop cutting before the felling cut is complete and
use wedges to open the cut and drop the tree along the
desired line of fall. When the tree begins to fall remove the
chainsaw from the cut, stop the motor, put the chainsaw
down, then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for
overhead limbs falling and watch yourfooting.

Common Cutting Techniques
Felling
The process of cutting down a tree. Do not fell trees in high
windconditions.
WARNING: Felling can result in injury. It should only be
performed by a trainedperson.
• A retreat path should be planned and cleared as necessary
before cuts are started. The retreat path should extend back
and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall as
shownbelow.
DIRECTION
OF
FALL
RETREAT
45°
TREE
45°
RETREAT
• Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the
tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction
to judge which way the tree will fall. Have wedges (wood,
plastic or aluminum) and a heavy mallet handy. Remove
dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from the tree
where the felling cuts are to bemade.
• Notching Undercut - Make the notch 1/3 of the diameter
of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of the fall. Make
the lower horizontal notching cut first. This will help to avoid
pinching of either the saw chain or the guide bar when the
second notch cut is being made as shownbelow.
• Felling Back Cut - Make the felling back cut at least 51mm
higher than the horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling
back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the
felling back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge.
The hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling

TO AVOID SPLINTERING
• 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.
