Compatibility
Manufactured to fit Black & Decker LPP120 LPP120B NPP2018 Pole Saw without modification. Always confirm your saw’s model number and bar length before ordering to ensure proper fit.
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 8-inch 3/8 pitch chain fit my Black & Decker LPP120B pole saw, or is it only for the LPP120?
Yes, this chain is made to fit the Black & Decker LPP120, LPP120B, and NPP2018 pole saw models. As long as your saw uses the 8-inch bar setup for those models, this replacement chain is the correct fit.
Q: Do I need any special steps to install this chain on my Black & Decker NPP2018 pole saw?
When installing it, make sure the cutting teeth are facing the correct direction along the top of the bar, then set the chain tension so it sits snugly but can still be pulled around by hand with gloves on. After a few minutes of use, recheck the tension since a new chain can stretch slightly during initial operation.
Q: Is this 2-pack 8-inch polesaw chain okay for pruning small tree limbs, and how should I maintain it?
Yes, it is designed for the 8-inch Black & Decker pole saw platform and works well for routine limb trimming within the saw’s intended capacity. Keep the chain clean, maintain proper bar oil lubrication, and sharpen or replace it if you notice slower cutting, fine sawdust instead of chips, or extra pressure needed during cuts.
