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 both the KOBALT KPS 1024A-03 and KPS 1024B-03 polesaw?
Yes, this chain is made for the 8-inch bar used on both the KOBALT KPS 1024A-03 and KPS 1024B-03 pole saw models. As long as your saw still has the original 8-inch bar, these replacement chains should fit correctly.
Q: How do I know if I’m installing the 8 inch chain in the right direction on my KOBALT pole saw?
When installed correctly, the cutting teeth on the top side of the bar should face forward toward the tip of the bar. After installation, adjust the chain tension so it sits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand with gloves on.
Q: Do these 8 inch replacement chains need sharpening before use, and how often should I maintain them?
These chains are typically ready to use when installed, so no pre-sharpening should be needed. For best performance on your KOBALT KPS 1024A-03 or KPS 1024B-03, keep the chain oiled, check tension before each use, and sharpen it whenever cutting starts to feel slow or requires extra pressure.
