Overview
This 2-pack of aftermarket 8-inch replacement chains is designed to fit select Black & Decker pole saw models. It replaces the factory chain when the original becomes dull beyond resharpening, damaged, or stretched past the tensioner’s range. Keeping a spare chain on hand means less downtime during cutting season — swap in a fresh chain and keep working while you sharpen the old one on the bench.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 8”
- Drive links: 34DL
- Quantity: 2-pack
- Type: Semi-chisel (aftermarket replacement)
Compatibility
This chain is designed as a direct replacement for select Black & Decker pole saws. Double-check the pitch, gauge, and drive-link count on your existing bar stamp before purchasing. These three measurements must all match for safe operation.
Installation notes
Disconnect the battery or unplug the pole saw before handling the chain. Release the bar-cover nuts or tool-free knob, remove the cover, and slip the old chain off the bar nose and drive sprocket. Seat the new chain with the cutters facing forward on the top of the bar, reattach the cover, and adjust tension until the chain snaps back when pulled slightly from the bar. Run the saw briefly at idle to verify smooth tracking before making your first cut.
Common questions
Q: Will this 8” KPSC 124-03 replacement chain fit my BLACK + DECKER LPP120B pole saw, and is it the same as 34DL 043 / KPS1024A-03?
Yes, this chain is made to fit the BLACK + DECKER LPP120B pole saw with the 8-inch bar, and it matches the 34DL 043 / KPS1024A-03 chain specification. If your original chain references KPS1024A-03 or KPS1024A03, this is the correct replacement style.
Q: Since this is a 2-pack of 8” chains, do I need to do anything special when installing one on my LPP120B?
Make sure the cutters face forward on the top side of the bar, then set chain tension so it sits snugly in the bar groove but can still be pulled around by hand with gloves on. After the first few cuts, recheck the tension, because a new chain will usually stretch slightly as it seats in.
Q: How should I maintain this KPSC 124-03 chain so it cuts well on my BLACK + DECKER pole saw?
Keep the chain properly oiled during use and clean sawdust out of the bar groove and around the drive area whenever you change or inspect the chain. If cutting starts to feel slow or you see fine dust instead of chips, the chain likely needs sharpening or replacement.
