Overview
Designed as a drop-in replacement for SKIL PS4561C-10 PWR 40V 10” Pole Saw models, this chain restores your saw’s cutting ability to like-new condition. Available as a 2-pack, giving you a ready spare. Chains wear down over time from regular use, and a fresh chain cuts faster and safer than a dull one.

Compatibility
Fits SKIL PS4561C-10 PWR 40V 10” Pole Saw as a direct replacement for the factory chain. Always confirm your saw’s model number and bar length before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Installation notes
Disconnect the spark plug wire or remove the battery before changing a chainsaw chain. Remove the bar cover, release bar tension, and take off the old chain. Place the new chain into the bar groove with the cutting teeth facing forward on top. Reinstall the cover, adjust chain tension until snug, and test by pulling the chain around the bar by hand. Re-check tension after a few minutes of use.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack 10-inch chain fit my SKIL PS4561C-10 PWR 40V pole saw, or is it only for standard handheld chainsaws?
Yes, this chain is made to fit the SKIL PS4561C-10 PWR 40V 10-inch pole saw. As long as your saw uses the original 10-inch bar setup, these replacement chains are the correct size for that model.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install this chain on the SKIL PS4561C-10, and how tight should it be?
You typically just need the bar/chain adjustment tool that came with your pole saw or a compatible wrench/screwdriver to loosen the side cover and set tension. The chain should sit snugly on the 10-inch bar while still being able to pull around by hand with gloves on; if it hangs below the bar, it’s too loose, and if it won’t move freely, it’s too tight.
Q: How often should I replace or maintain the chain on my SKIL PS4561C-10 pole saw if I’m using these 10-inch replacement chains?
Keep the chain properly tensioned and make sure the saw’s bar oil reservoir is filled every time you use it, since a dry chain wears out quickly. Replace the chain when it no longer cuts efficiently after sharpening, shows damaged or missing cutters, or stretches to the point that normal adjustment no longer keeps it properly tensioned.
