Saw Chain Sharpness

CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut
you when it is notrunning.
IMPORTANT: The chain cutters will dull immediately if they
touch the ground, stones, masonry or a nail whilecutting.
To get the best possible performance from your chain saw it
is important to keep the teeth of the saw chain sharp. Chain
sharpening services are available from your nearest DeWALT
servicecenter.
NOTE: Each time the saw chain is sharpened, it loses some
of the reduced kickback qualities and extra caution should be
used. It is recommended that a saw chain be sharpened no
more than fourtimes.

to make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb.
Then make the finish cut from the top. If you try to cut off
thick branches from the bottom, the branch may close
in and pinch the saw chain in the cut. If you try to cut off
thick branches from the top, without a shallow undercut,
the branch may splinter. Do not force pole saw. The motor
will overload and can burn out. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it wasintended.
c. Remove pole saw from cut while it is running at full speed.
Stop pole saw by releasing trigger switch
