What this is
Two replacement chains for two 40V 14” chainsaws built around the same bar and chain: the Kobalt KCS 4040-06 and the SKIL PWR CORE 40 CS4555. Both manuals name the same cutting set (chain type CL14352, bar type M1431452-1041). This pack is the same size: 14”, 3/8” low-profile pitch, .043” gauge, 52 drive links.
The same 14” .043” size is also the factory chain on Greenworks’ 40V 14” saws (retail replacement 2906802), the Husqvarna 225i (H38), EGO’s CS1400 series (AC1400) and the Worx WG384. The full list is in the table below.
Makita and Husqvarna owners: check which bar you have
Makita ships the XCU03, XCU07, XCU08 and XCU11 with a 14” .043” bar (E-00072) and chain (E-00228) — the size of this chain. Makita also approves a .050” 14” bar (E-00088, chain E-00234) for the XCU03, XCU07 and XCU08; if yours has been switched to it, use our 14” .050” chain instead. The Husqvarna 225i is similar: its standard bar takes this .043” chain, but Husqvarna also approves a .050” bar (578186652) with S93G chain. The gauge is stamped on the tail of the bar.

Kobalt’s manual says its replacement chain and bar are ordered through Kobalt customer service; SKIL sells SCN1400 on its own site.
Check before you order
- Worx WG384 vs WG385. The WG384 is the 14” saw; the WG385 is 16” and needs a longer chain (ours is here).
- Model number, not just “Kobalt 40V”. The KCS 4080-06 and KCS 180B-06 are 18” saws with a thicker .050” chain.
- Count 52 drive links on the old chain.
Fitting it
The two saws tension differently. The SKIL CS4555 has a tool-free tensioning knob. On the Kobalt KCS 4040-06 you loosen the chain-cover lock nuts with the supplied wrench and turn the chain adjustment screw. Kobalt’s manual asks for a low-kickback chain equivalent to the original, or one certified to ANSI B175.1.
