Overview
Packaged as a set of 2, this chain is a direct replacement for KOBALT 506891 / KPS 80-06 / KPS 80-07 / KPS 80-08 Polesaw models. Chains wear down over time from regular use, and a fresh chain cuts faster and safer than a dull one.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 8”
- Quantity: 2 chains per pack
Compatibility
This replacement chain works with KOBALT 506891 / KPS 80-06 / KPS 80-07 / KPS 80-08 Polesaw. Check your owner’s manual or the existing chain’s markings to verify pitch, gauge, and drive link count before ordering.
Installation notes
Start by powering down the pole saw and removing the battery or disconnecting the cord. Take off the side cover and bar, then remove the dull chain. When mounting the fresh chain, confirm the teeth point forward along the top edge of the bar. Tighten the tensioning screw until the chain sits firmly in the groove without binding, then hand-test rotation before powering on.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack 8 inch pole saw chain fit my KOBALT KPS 80-07, or is it only for model 506891?
Yes, this chain is made for the KOBALT 506891 and the KPS 80-06, KPS 80-07, and KPS 80-08 pole saws with an 8-inch bar. If your saw matches one of those model numbers and uses an 8-inch bar, this is the correct replacement chain set.
Q: How do I know if this is the right chain size for my KOBALT pole saw bar?
Check the model number on your saw and confirm that your bar length is 8 inches. This replacement chain is specifically sized for compatible KOBALT 8-inch pole saw setups, so it should not be used on longer or different bar configurations.
Q: Any tips for installing and maintaining this 8 inch pole saw chain on a KPS 80-08?
When installing, make sure the cutting teeth face in the correct direction on the top side of the bar, then set the chain tension so it sits snugly but still moves freely by hand. Keep the chain properly oiled, check tension after the first few cuts, and touch up or replace the chain if cutting starts to feel slow or uneven.
