Compatibility
Fits DEWALT DCPS620M1 DCPS620B, RYOBI P436 P4360BTL P5452BTL P20310 plus additional models with matching bar-mount specs. Cross-reference your chainsaw’s model and serial number with the compatibility table to confirm correct fitment before installing.
Installation notes
Remove the side cover, slide the old bar off the studs, and clean any sawdust from the bar-mount area and oil port. Seat the new bar on the studs, loop the chain around the sprocket and bar nose, then hand-tighten the cover nuts. Adjust chain tension until the chain pulls away from the bar bottom about 1/8 inch and snaps back, then torque the nuts securely.
Common questions
Q: Will this 8-inch guide bar and chain combo fit my DEWALT DCPS620B pole saw, or is it only for the DCPS620M1 kit?
Yes, it fits both the DEWALT DCPS620B bare tool and the DCPS620M1 kit version, since they use the same 8-inch bar and 3/8 pitch chain setup. If your saw is one of those exact models, this combo is the correct replacement style for the original bar and chain assembly.
Q: I have a RYOBI P4360BTL and noticed this chain is 3/8 pitch—do I need to match anything else before installing it?
Yes, pitch needs to match, but you should also confirm you’re replacing it on one of the listed compatible 8-inch RYOBI pole saw models like the P4360BTL. When installing, make sure the chain is routed in the correct cutting direction, seated properly on the drive sprocket and bar groove, and then tensioned so it lifts slightly from the bar but still snaps back into place.
Q: Can I use this bar and chain combo on a BLACK+DECKER LPP120B, and are there any maintenance tips to help it last longer?
Yes, this combo is compatible with the BLACK+DECKER LPP120B as listed. To extend bar and chain life, keep the chain properly tensioned, add bar-and-chain oil regularly, and clean sawdust from the bar groove and oiling holes so the chain stays lubricated during use.
