If you have the handle disigned for the lithium battery becareful using the 9096 battery as it moves in the handle a lot and can hit the terminal on the switch wrong and bend it or break it. Also it will get a lot of vibration when running and because it doen't have the support that it needs for a 9096 it wiill likely brak a contact on the switch eventually. the factory does say they work in any tool however.

Yes but the DeWalt DC9098 18-Volt Compact Battery will only give you 1/2 the run time of the DC9096 XRP battery.

You can use any dewalt battery in any drill, saw, or light as long as it fits. They made the batteries where if they will not work in a tool, they won't fit.

How to grease dewalt dc385

The grease they recomend is part number 286436-00 at a cost of $80.87 for a 1pound can. I'd call the factory at 1-800-433-9258 and see if they offer a smaller tube.

Saw is smoking

First I would check to two wire leads coming from the switch to the brushes. They will often melt from too much heat. There is a very good chance that the switch is bad too. Here is the parts diagram. The leads I referred to are items 43 and 44.

I have a Dewalt DC385 Reciprocating saw, when I hold it with the blade down or level the saw will not work but when I have the blade pointed upwards it works fine. I don't think it is the trigger...

I would look at the battery contacts first for burnt/discolored contact, if so clean with something like a pencil eraser, look at the contacts on the tool also. If these are acceptable then I would think a loose wire inside the handle area is causing. Before disassembly hold tool level and GENTLY tap with a soft hammer to see if you can get it to work and that would be a first indication of a bad connection

Will a DC9098 battery fit in a DC390B 6 1/2 " circular saw?

IT DEPENDS ON THE SIZE AND LOCATION OF THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE METAL STRIPS
AND CLIPS ...SOME WILL FIT BUT NOT WORK BECAUSE OF THIS...DO NOT TRY UNTIL YOU HAVE CONFIRMED THIS....YOU CAN RUIN IT BY TRYING WITHOUT LOOKING.
.....I HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENT DESIGN...IT WILL FIT PERFECT BUT THE STRIPS ARE DIFFERENT...................HOPE THIS HELPS.....................METALPOET

How do i CHANGE THE SAW BLADE

Hout40, holding saw as U would use it, is a "dog" on the right side, that U pull out.
If U turn it around and look at the other end ( with the blade end) U can see the "dog" work the inside, that releases the blade. HTH, JoeB
