Using your DeWalt 60V MAX* 18 - inch brushless cordless chainsaw is easy. First, make sure you've inserted a fully - charged DCB609 battery (sold separately). Then, use the onboard wrench for quick chain adjustment. When starting a cutting task, hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands. For outdoor cutting, the low - kickback bar and chain, along with the chain brake, provide safety. Remember to always wear appropriate safety gear like gloves and goggles. As for maintenance, the auto - oiling feature keeps the chain lubricated, but check the oil level regularly. After each use, clean the chainsaw, especially the chain and bar. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you notice any issues or if the performance decreases, it might be time to replace the chain or have it serviced.
