## Overview

The CATCaterpillar DG631 is a powerful 60V brushless battery chainsaw featuring an 18” blade, designed for demanding tree care tasks.

## Description

60V of power paired with an 18 in. bar and 78.7 ft./s of chain speed offers more than enough power and performance for tougher cutting applications. That’s pro-grade capability from a battery-operated tool, but without the expense, extra maintenance, or unnecessary loudness that comes with a gas-powered saw. The 60V 18 in. Cat Chain Saw is here for more efficient tree removal and pruning, faster firewood cutting, impressive storm clean-up, powerful trail making, and easier fence building. It has a 3/8 in. low profile chain pitch and weighs only 16.3 lbs. with the battery installed. The Tool-less Chain Tension and Automatic Chain Oiler Systems make it easy to maintain, and the High-Efficiency Brushless Motor and Aluminum Drive Cover means it’ll perform better and longer than many other chainsaws on the market. Battery-powered Cat chainsaws offer a new benchmark in power and cutting capability. Dependable operation without fuel mixing, starter cords, chokes and engine maintenance makes your difficult work a breeze. Enjoy professional level performance without the noise, complexity or exhaust fumes. You already know the Cat name from industrial-strength construction and earth-moving machines, so you can bet that when they put their name on a chain saw, it’ll be built to both perform, and to last for the long haul.

## Features

- A CHAIN SAW THAT CUTS STRONG: Engineered to cut clean & fast on every pass. 18” length is perfect for more demanding tree care tasks. Cut without complication thanks to robust power, refined safety, and ultra-convenient features—such as auto oiling and tool-free tensioning
- ENHANCED CUTTING POWER: Battery powered chainsaw with more power and runtime. Brushless Motor 2.0 produces 40% more power and 10% longer runtime than standard brushless motors. Plus, 70% more power and a 10X longer life than brushed motors
- COMPETITIVE CHAIN SPEED: This cordless chainsaw boasts an impressive 78.7 ft./s. chain speed. Faster than similar 18” battery chainsaws, it cuts smooth for delimbing, felling trees, bucking logs, & more
- SUPERIOR SAFETY: Battery operated chainsaw is optimized for safety, giving you more peace of mind as you work. The bar nose is designed to reduce kickback, while inertia chain brake rapidly stops operation when kickback occurs to prevent injury
- MAINTAIN PERFECT TENSION, PROBLEM-FREE: Tool-free chain tensioning achieves perfect chain tightness with a simple twist of a dial. With advanced engineering, the chain saw maintains tightness without loosening or getting stuck during use
- PREMIUM POWER WITHOUT THE GAS: Start instantly. Avoid fuel mixing. Skip the added, expense, weight, and fumes of a gas-powered chain saw. 60V battery power combined with Brushless Motor 2.0 design produces gas-like power without the need for fuel
- STRONG, SLIM CHAIN FOR EASY CUTTING: While other 18” chainsaws have wide chains, this battery powered chainsaw has a slimmer chain that reduces friction & improves cutting efficiency. It’s also more resistant to breakage, warping, & corrosion
- LIGHTER DESIGN FOR COMFORTABLE USE: This lightweight battery chainsaw weighs only 13.1 lbs. (with battery)—much less than similar products on the market. Rely on the lighter profile to prevent fatigue during operation and transport

**Q: What type of oil can I use in the reservoir to lubricate the bar and chain?**

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've used a lot of chairsaws in my life, however....
*by N***F on June 15, 2023*

This is the absolutely best chain saw I have ever purchased and had the pleasure of using!It is quiet. It stays cool. It is sharp. It is not too heavy or burdensome. The 60 volt battery just keeps on providing power.Gone is the day of large and hot ear protection devices. The blade cuts tree branches like a hot knife through butter. The 16 inch bar is easy to manuever where it's useful. There's no hot muffler to get burned on. There's no exhaust to make your eyes burn, nor inhale.I used it for over a half hour straight, trimming branches from live trees, and the battery level indicator still had one bar remaining. I previously purchased the Cat string trimmer, and the battery lasted over a hour. So I will use that battery as a backup power source, if and when the battery goes dead before I do!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent chainsaw
*by B***4 on May 27, 2024*

I've cut down a 16 in diameter pine and some other trees of 4 to 12 in diameter, totally no problem. Cuts like a knife through butter. Only complaint is that the battery lasts for a good hour of work, and recharges in 90-120 minutes. As a homeowner, that's no problem, I can wait and finish the job later, but if you're a heavy user you'd want a few batteries pre-charged to get through a work day. Actually the oil tank which has integrated threads for the cap, the threads just stripped off without me putting a lot of force into it. CAT replaced it for free under warranty. If I bought it again, I would buy it from somewhere other than Amazon because I was apparently shipped an out-of-date model that's probably been sitting in a warehouse for 3 years. My replacement model is up to date.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks and feels good
*by A***H on March 17, 2024*

It seems to be a good saw... charged it and used it on a few small logs only 4 feet long and still had a full charge so I put it up for a week . I went use it agine tried cutting the log the long way witch is hard for any chainsaw. Made 2 passes in a 2 foot section of log and it was dead ...it is powerful so it does a good job but I recommend buying 2 more batteries if you want to last all day without resting ...
