Compatibility
This replacement chain works with DEWALT DCCS670. Verify your specific model number and existing chain dimensions before purchasing.
Installation notes
Begin by shutting off the saw and disconnecting the power source. Loosen the bar-mounting fasteners and remove the side cover to access the chain. Slide the worn chain off, seat the replacement around the sprocket and into the bar groove with cutters pointing in the direction of rotation. Tighten the tensioning screw until there is slight play but no droop, then secure the cover.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack of 16 inch chains fit my DEWALT DCCS670, or do I need a specific pitch and gauge?
Yes, these chains are made for the DEWALT DCCS670 with a 16 inch bar, so they match the fitment this saw requires. As long as your saw still has the standard 16 inch setup and hasn’t been converted to a different bar, these should install correctly.
Q: Do I need to sharpen these chains before using them, and how often should I maintain them on my DCCS670?
They should arrive ready to use, so you do not need to sharpen them before the first cut. For best performance, keep the chain properly tensioned, make sure the bar oil reservoir stays full, and touch up the cutters whenever you notice slower cutting, extra vibration, or the saw producing fine dust instead of chips.
Q: Is there anything special I should watch for when installing one of these 16 inch replacement chains on the DEWALT DCCS670?
When installing, make sure the cutting teeth on the top of the bar are facing forward, because the chain will not cut properly if it is backwards. After mounting, tension it so the chain seats in the bar groove but still pulls around by hand with gloves on, then recheck tension again after the first few minutes of use since a new chain can stretch slightly.
