What is a top handle chainsaw and who should use the DCCS673X1?
A top handle chainsaw has the primary handle positioned on top of the motor housing rather than at the rear, allowing arborists to operate the saw one-handed while climbing. The DCCS673X1 is designed for certified arborists and trained climbers performing aerial tree pruning and removal.
How fast is the chain speed on the DCCS673X1?
DEWALT rates the DCCS673X1 at 23.6 m/s (approximately 77.4 ft/s) chain speed, which allows it to cut through a 10-in. diameter maple log in as fast as 6.8 seconds.
What does the Tool Connect™ feature do on the DCCS673X1?
Tool Connect™ enables asset tracking through the DEWALT TOOL CONNECT app. The saw's built-in chip can be registered and monitored on a jobsite inventory system, reducing tool loss on commercial tree care operations.
What is the D-ring harness attachment point used for?
The D-ring allows the chainsaw to be attached to an arborist's harness lanyard when not in active use during a climb, keeping both hands free for repositioning. Note: the harness itself is not included.
How does the DCCS673X1 compare to the DCCS674B?
The DCCS673X1 has a 12-in. bar and higher chain speed (77.4 ft/s vs 75.5 ft/s for the DCCS674B), and comes with a battery kit. The DCCS674B has a longer 14-in. bar, is sold tool-only, and is slightly lighter at 11.35 lbs.
Is the DCCS673X1 approved for one-handed aerial use by non-arborists?
Top handle chainsaws are specifically designed for certified arborists operating in trees. DEWALT recommends this tool for trained professionals only. Ground-based users should use a rear handle saw like the DCCS670X1 or DCCS672X1 instead.
