Installation notes
Remove the battery before servicing a pruning saw chain. Release the chain cover, lift off the old chain, and place the replacement into the bar groove with cutters facing forward on the top rail. Reattach the cover and tension the chain until snug with no visible sag. Test by pulling the chain around the bar by hand to verify smooth movement.
Common questions
Q: Will this 3PC 6 inch chainsaw chain fit my Milwaukee 2527-20 pruning saw, and does the 3/8 pitch match the original setup?
Yes, this chain is made for the 2527-20 and matches the 6 inch bar length and 3/8 pitch used on that saw. As long as your saw still has the correct 6 inch bar setup, these chains should install and track properly.
Q: How do I know if this replacement chain is tensioned correctly on my 2527-20 after installation?
After installing, the chain should sit snugly on the bar but still pull around by hand with light resistance when the battery is removed. If the drive links hang out of the bar groove it is too loose, and if the chain will not move freely it is too tight, so recheck tension after a few minutes of cutting.
Q: Since this comes with 3 chains, what is the best way to maintain them for cleaner cuts on a 6 inch pruning saw?
Rotate the chains instead of running one until it is completely dull, and keep each one lightly oiled and clean of sap and debris after use. If the saw starts producing fine dust instead of chips or you need to push harder through branches, it is time to sharpen or swap to the next chain.
