Overview
This pole saw chain replaces the stock chain on DEWALT DCCS623 / DCCS623B Chainsaw models, letting you get back to reaching high branches quickly. 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.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 8”
- Quantity: 2 chains per pack
Compatibility
This replacement chain works with DEWALT DCCS623 / DCCS623B Chainsaw. Cross-reference your saw’s model number with the product listing to confirm compatibility.
Installation notes
Disconnect the battery or unplug the pole saw before beginning any chain work. Remove the bar cover, take off the spent chain, and lay the new one into the bar groove with teeth oriented in the correct cutting direction. After reattaching the cover, set the chain tension so there is slight play but no sag under the bar. Run the saw briefly and recheck tension after the chain seats itself.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack 8 inch pole saw chain fit my DEWALT DCCS623B, or is it only for the DCCS623 kit version?
Yes, it fits both the DEWALT DCCS623 and DCCS623B since those are the same 8-inch saw platform, with the “B” version just meaning bare tool. As long as your saw uses the stock 8-inch bar, this replacement chain is the correct fit.
Q: Do I need any special steps to install this 8 inch chain on my DCCS623 pole saw?
When installing, make sure the chain cutters are facing the correct direction on the top of the bar, then set the chain into the bar groove and around the drive sprocket before adjusting tension. After installation, tighten it so the chain sits snugly but can still be pulled around by hand, and recheck tension after the first few cuts since new chains can stretch slightly.
Q: How often should I sharpen or replace this chain on the DEWALT DCCS623?
That depends on what you’re cutting, but if the saw starts making fine dust instead of chips, pulls to one side, or requires extra pressure, the chain likely needs sharpening. Keep it properly oiled and avoid hitting dirt or bark with embedded grit, because that will dull an 8-inch pole saw chain much faster.
