DEWALT has expanded the FLEXVOLT System with Outdoor Power Equipment. Featuring batteries that automatically change voltage when the user changes tools, the Outdoor Power Equipment lineup includes the 60V MAX Chainsaw, Handheld Blower, and String Trimmer, all featuring the FLEXVOLT 60V MAX 3.0Ah battery (9.0Ah when used in 20V MAX tools).
For residential and commercial construction professionals, the FLEXVOLT System is backwards compatible with most of the existing DEWALT 20V MAX system, which now includes over 100 products. This means that the FLEXVOLT Batteries operate both the DEWALT 60V MAX Outdoor Power Equipment as well as DEWALT 20V MAX Power Tools.
The 60V MAX Chainsaw (DCCS670X1) is equipped with a brushless motor delivering gas performance. The 16-inch Oregon bar and chain has auto-oiling for continuous lubrication and a tool-free tensioning system for bar and chain adjustments. The chainsaw does not have the engine maintenance that is required with gas-powered chainsaws. With no more cold starts and carburetor issues, this chainsaw starts with the pull of the trigger.
The 60V MAX Handheld Blower (DCBL770X1) is also equipped with a brushless motor which generates gas performance to clear jobsite debris at up to 423 CFM & 129 MPH. The Handheld Blower also includes a flat concentrator nozzle to increase air speed to 175 MPH for heavy duty debris. A variable speed trigger and lock allow for full throttle control without having to hold down the trigger.
The 60V MAX String Trimmer (DCST970X1) features a 15-inch cut swath accepting DEWALT 0.080- or 0.095-inch lines and a gear-drive transmission providing torque that maintains cut speed under load. Optimal for construction cleanup and maintenance, the 60V MAX Outdoor Power Equipment allows residential & commercial construction users to leave the gas tank behind and expand their DEWALT power tool and battery systems. The 60V MAX Chainsaw, Handheld Blower, and String Trimmer will be available where DEWALT products are sold.
For professional landscapers, the DEWALT 40V MAX System offers a battery solution for outdoor use. All DEWALT Outdoor Power tools come standard with a three-year limited warranty, one-year free service contract, and 90-day money-back satisfaction guarantee.
