Q: Where is the chain tensioning screw located on the DEWALT DWOAS6PS?

The chain tensioning screw of the DEWALT DWOAS6PS is component number 8 . It is located at the front of the housing , clearly visible and easy to locate. You will see it directly when you look at the front part of the saw. To precisely identify this screw, locate the chain guide (the elongated metal bar) and the pinion cover (reference 2) that covers it. The tensioning screw is located just at the front of the housing, slightly below the pinion cover. To adjust the tension: Use a flathead screwdriver to turn this screw. Before making any adjustments, slightly loosen the two chain guide locking nuts (reference 3) located on either side of the guide. Turn the tensioning screw clockwise to increase the tension and counterclockwise to decrease it . The tension is correct when the chain can be pulled away about 3 mm from the chain guide with a light finger pressure, and it returns to its position by itself. The important thing is that there is no sagging of the chain on the lower part of the guide. Once the adjustment is complete, securely tighten the two locking nuts. Practical tip: Always check the tension before each use, with the battery disconnected. If you have a new chain, inspect it frequently during the first two hours of use as it stretches slightly. Avoid excessive over-tightening: a chain that is too tight reduces the lifespan of the guide and the chain, and drains the battery more quickly.

Question 2

I replaced the battery but the laser does not turn on - what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If the laser of the DW099S does not turn on after changing the battery, please proceed with these priority checks:

Battery type: Use two new AAA alkaline batteries (Energizer, Duracell or equivalent). Rechargeable, depleted, or old batteries do not provide enough voltage. Never mix used and new batteries.
Battery installation: Open the compartment at the back of the tool, then insert the two AAA batteries while strictly following the polarity indicated inside the compartment (+ and -). Close the cover until it clicks.
Device test: Press the power button. If the screen lights up but the red laser does not appear, first test with a second pair of new batteries to rule out a battery defect.

Check operating conditions: The DW099S operates only between 0 °C and 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). In winter or extreme cold, wait for the device to reach this temperature range. In very bright light (full sun), the red laser dot may be difficult to see visually, even if the laser is working. Test in a less lit area. Finally, ensure that your target is within the range of 1 m to 30 m.

Reset the device: Remove the two batteries for 30 seconds, then reinsert them. This resets the electronic circuits and often resolves software glitches. If the screen displays error code 203 after this operation, it confirms that the batteries are too weak or improperly installed. Replace them immediately.

If the problem persists: If the laser remains off after these steps and the screen shows no error code, it is likely a defect in the laser module. The DW099S comes with a limited 3-year warranty and 1 year of free maintenance. Contact DeWalt customer service by calling 1-800-4-DeWALT (USA) or visit www.DeWALT.com to identify your authorized service center in France. Have your proof of purchase ready.

Question 6

What does the shredding cap of the DCMWP600 look like?

Accepted Answer

The shredding cap of the DCMWP600 (component no. 24) is a removable rectangular piece designed to fit at the back of the mower. Here are its main features:

Pins and locking: the cap has engagement pins (no. 35) that snap into the corresponding slots (no. 36) on the mower chassis, ensuring a solid and precise positioning.
Positioning and installation: it slides horizontally all the way into the rear discharge opening, under the rear door cover (no. 21). The cover must be lifted before insertion and lowered afterward to keep the cap in place.
Locking function: when inserted, it completely closes the rear discharge opening of the mower. This closure forces the cut grass to recirculate inside the cutting deck rather than being ejected.
Shredding mode: when the cap is in place, the mower operates in shredding mode (or mulching). The recirculated grass is finely shredded and redistributed over the lawn, eliminating the need to use the collection bag or the side discharge chute.
Removal and replacement: to use the mower in collection mode (collection bag) or side discharge mode, simply remove the cap by sliding it out of the discharge opening.

Note that cap no. 24 is provided with your DeWalt DCMWP600 mower and is one of the three operating modes of this 3-in-1 mower (collection, shredding, side discharge).
