Overview
This 2-pack of aftermarket 8-inch replacement chains is designed to fit select Worx pole saw models. Over time every chain stretches, dulls, and eventually needs replacing. This aftermarket option matches the OEM pitch, gauge, and drive-link count so you can install it directly without modifications. A fresh chain also reduces strain on the bar and sprocket.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 8”
- Pitch: 3/8
- Gauge: .043”
- Drive links: 33DL
- Quantity: 2-pack
- Type: Semi-chisel (aftermarket replacement)
Compatibility
This chain is designed as a direct replacement for select Worx 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
Always remove the battery or disconnect power before working on the chain. Loosen the bar cover, take out the old chain, and note which direction the cutters face. Thread the new chain around the bar nose and into the drive sprocket, keeping cutters pointed forward on top. Reattach the cover and tension the chain until it lifts slightly off the bar rail and snaps back. Test at low speed before cutting.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack 8” replacement chain fit my WORX WG349.9 cordless pole saw, or is it only for the WG349?
Yes, this chain fits both the WORX WG349 and WG349.9 pole saw models as long as you are using the 8-inch bar. It matches the correct 3/8” pitch and .043 gauge, with a 33-drive-link setup for those saws.
Q: How do I know if this is the right chain size for my 8” WORX pole saw?
Check the markings in your owner’s manual or on the original chain for 33 drive links, .043 gauge, and 3/8” pitch. If your saw is a WORX WG349 or WG349.9 with the stock 8-inch bar, this replacement chain matches those exact specs.
Q: Do I need to do anything special when installing and maintaining this 8” pole saw chain?
After installation, make sure the cutting teeth face the correct direction and adjust chain tension so it sits snug on the bar but still pulls around by hand. Keep the chain properly oiled, recheck tension after the first few cuts, and touch up the cutters regularly to help the saw cut smoothly and reduce wear on the bar and sprocket.
