How Good is the DeWalt® DCPS620 8” Cordless Pole Saw?

[@mugsnvicki]

Yes, I have the blower. Fun fact, great for the first snowfall of the season. Second comment, I had a colleague who worked for the Dewalt store and I asked him how many Dewalt tools he had personally. His response, "All of them!!!"

I run one of my 60v batteries it balances it out considerably. The tool will cut thru 5” pine branches in about 3 seconds. I like it so much I just purchased the hand held version of it. Boy this guy can talk. Ear protection for an electric pole saw wow. He talks much louder than the saw could ever produce.

Just bought one of these (it’s 18V here in GB, but essentially the same kit). I thought I’d watch your video first & it’s full of great tips. Not being familiar with chainsaws I’m a little nervous about re-tensioning, can you point me to a good how to video. Anyhow, thanks for the tips mate. 👍

I've had that pole saw for a couple years, I really like it.

[@mrlafayette1964]

How far does it extend?

[@downhillskier7]

Just use 2 sections the chainsaw and control unit when you add the middle section it is too floppy and hard to control.

For $99, you can purchase the 20V MAX 22 in. Cordless Battery Powered Pole Hedge Trimmer Head Attachment, which works with the DCPS620 pole.

We have one of those and it works very well. It makes pruning a breeze. In regard to the oil leakage even after emptying the reservoir. I''ll try the upside-down storage. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for the video, I bought one from Amazon, should be here in a few days. By rights, they should not have sold you that saw as a new saw if it was used and returned, even if only once, but alas that is the world we live in today. I am not saying anymore, cause I haven't got mine from Amazon yet, I may be lucky to get one in that good of shape.

[@Mark-qw1rg]

If I empty the oil out after each use, can I reuse that oil?

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Yes, absolutely!

[@So.avant.garde1]

Has anyone else had a problem with leaking oil from the blade area or the casing?

[@jason-things_to_do]

Don't run this too hard else it will die as mine did after 1 month. Repair center said it doesn't take much to over heat the transistors.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Thanks for the insights - this is really helpful. Best, DFJ

DeWalt DCPS620 has only a 9’ reach NOT 15’ as not everyone is 6’ tall 😡

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Got it, thanks for the comment.

[@jarrod8914]

It’s only 8’ long, what a sales gimmick since it says 15’. .

[@DirtFarmerJay]

It's a 15' reach for the average person. I don't think I'd want it to be 15' as it would really be heavy all the way out on the end of the shaft. Thanks for taking time to write!

[@tomyaraschefski6025]

its junk idler gets clogged after 20 min and chain comes off junk

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Thanks for weighing in. I haven't had that issue. Are you saying the tip idler loads up and the chain jumps off ? Give me a bit more. Thanks!

I'd suggest changing your cut technique. Try undercuts roughly 25% through the bottom of the bigger limbs and then finish em off on top so you bar isn't pinched and your motor / drive sprocket won't be overwhelmed by trying to brute force. as for the chain coming off, inspect your bar's sprocket to make sure it spins and that cutting material isn't clogging your bar. be sure your chain is fully seated over both your bar's sprocket (at the end) and your drive sprocket (what spins your chain) then give it some good tension along with the outer cover which keeps everything snug in place. good rule of thumb is your chain should have enough slack to pull until you can ALMOST see the tip of the link for about 3 adjacent chain links. hope that helps. btw I'm not a dewalt guy, I have 8 platforms and as a tool channel I hate seeing people frustrated with fixing/work as it can discourage many to quit. Hope your efforts with this or any other tools go better ~ Work Smart
