Compatibility
Designed for DEWALT DCPS620M1 and other saws with identical bar-mount dimensions. Before purchasing, verify your specific model number in the compatibility listing, as some saws within a product line use different bar studs or tensioner positions.
Installation notes
Loosen the bar-mount nuts and slide the old assembly off. Before fitting the new bar, clear packed sawdust from the oil passage and around the drive sprocket. Place the new bar onto the studs, route the chain around the bar groove and sprocket, then adjust tension to the point where you can pull the chain around by hand with light resistance. Snug the nuts in a cross pattern.
Common questions
Q: Will this 8-inch guide bar and chain combo fit my DEWALT DCPS620M1 pole saw without any modifications?
Yes, this combo is made to fit the DEWALT DCPS620M1 and matches the 8-inch bar length and 3/8 pitch required for that saw. You should be able to install it using the factory bar cover and tensioning system without modifying the saw.
Q: Does this combo come with both the bar and the chain, and do I need to tension the chain after the first few cuts?
Yes, this is a complete combo with both the 8-inch guide bar and matching chain included. After installation, it’s a good idea to recheck chain tension after the first few cuts because a new chain can stretch slightly as it seats into the bar.
Q: What maintenance should I do on this 8-inch bar and chain combo to keep it cutting well on my DCPS620M1?
Keep the chain properly tensioned, make sure the chain oil reservoir on your DEWALT DCPS620M1 is filled, and clean debris from the bar groove and oiling holes regularly. It also helps to sharpen the chain when cutting starts to slow or pulls to one side, since a sharp 3/8 pitch chain will cut smoother and put less strain on the saw.
