This chain is designed to fit Remington RM2599 Chainsaw. Verify your specific model number and existing chain dimensions before purchasing.
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 Remington RM2599, or do I need to match anything besides the bar length?
Yes, this chain set is intended for the Remington RM2599 with an 8-inch bar, so it’s the correct fit for that model. It’s still a good idea to confirm your saw is using the original 8-inch setup and not an aftermarket bar, since chain fit depends on the bar size and matching chain specifications.
Q: How do I know when these 8 inch chains need to be replaced instead of just sharpened on my RM2599 pole saw?
If the chain is still cutting but getting dull, a normal sharpening is usually enough to restore performance. Replace it if the cutters are worn down very short, the chain has damaged or missing teeth, or it keeps stretching and won’t hold proper tension on your Remington RM2599.
Q: Is there anything special I should do when installing one of these chains on an 8 inch Remington RM2599 pole saw?
Make sure the cutting teeth face the correct direction on the top of the bar, then set the chain tension so it sits snugly but can still be pulled around by hand. After installation, check that the bar oil system is working and recheck tension after the first few minutes of use, since a new chain can loosen slightly as it seats.
