The DCCS677Z1 is DEWALT's 60V MAX FLEXVOLT 20-in. brushless cordless chainsaw sold as a kit with a DCB615 15 Ah battery, DCB115 charger, bar sheath, carrying case, sharpening file, and tensioning tool. Delivering a peak output of 4 HP using the DCB615 battery, this saw provides the power and endurance needed for demanding ground-level cutting including felling trees, bucking logs, and storm cleanup. The brushless motor drives high-efficiency performance with auto-oiling for continuous chain lubrication. A kick-back protection chain brake is built in with a low kick-back bar and chain. Backed by a 3-year limited tool warranty.
How powerful is the DCCS677Z1 compared to a gas chainsaw?
The DCCS677Z1 delivers a peak output of 4 HP when paired with the included DCB615 15 Ah FLEXVOLT battery. This places it in the range of a 40-45cc gas chainsaw for general felling and bucking work. The brushless motor maintains consistent power through the cut, whereas gas saws may bog under heavy load. Reviewers confirm it handles tree felling and log bucking up to 18-in. diameter effectively.
What is the advantage of the 20-in. bar on the DCCS677Z1?
The 20-in. bar allows the DCCS677Z1 to fell larger-diameter trees and buck logs without repositioning. A 14-in. saw like the DCCS674X2 requires multiple cuts on larger timber; the DCCS677Z1 handles trunk diameters up to approximately 38-in. in a single pass from alternating sides. This makes it more productive for land clearing, storm cleanup, and firewood operations.
What is included in the DCCS677Z1 kit?
The DCCS677Z1 Z1 kit includes the chainsaw body, a DCB615 15.0 Ah FLEXVOLT battery (DEWALT's largest capacity), a DCB115 charger, a bar sheath, a rugged carrying case, a sharpening file, and a tensioning tool. The 15 Ah battery provides significantly more runtime than smaller capacity FLEXVOLT batteries for extended work sessions.
Does the DCCS677Z1 have automatic chain oiling?
Yes. The DCCS677Z1 features an automatic oiling system that continuously lubricates the bar and chain during operation. This auto-oiling ensures consistent lubrication without requiring the operator to manually apply bar oil during cuts, extending bar and chain life.
What kickback protection does the DCCS677Z1 have?
The DCCS677Z1 includes a chain brake that activates via the front guard in a kickback event to stop the chain within milliseconds. It also uses a low-kickback bar and chain combination that reduces the risk of severe kickback compared to standard chains and bars. These features meet the safety requirements for professional chainsaw use.
Can the DCCS677Z1 replace a gas chainsaw for property maintenance?
For most residential and light commercial property maintenance including tree trimming, storm cleanup, and firewood cutting, the DCCS677Z1 can fully replace a gas saw. The FLEXVOLT 15 Ah battery provides runtime comparable to a gas chainsaw tank for typical work sessions, and the tool eliminates fuel mixing, carburetor maintenance, and exhaust in confined spaces. For commercial logging operations requiring hours of continuous use, gas chainsaws remain the more practical choice.
