Overview
This 3-pack of aftermarket replacement chains is designed to fit select Black & Decker chainsaw models. It serves as a drop-in replacement when the original chain becomes dull past the point of resharpening, develops a damaged cutter, or has stretched beyond the tensioner’s adjustment range. Having a spare on the shelf eliminates trips to the dealer mid-project.
Key specifications
- Quantity: 3-pack
- Type: Semi-chisel (aftermarket replacement)
Compatibility
This chain is manufactured as a direct-fit replacement for select Black & Decker chainsaws listed in the compatibility section above. Always cross-check the pitch, gauge, and drive-link count stamped on your current bar before ordering — even within the same brand, different models can require different chain specs.
Installation notes
Disconnect power before any chain work. Remove the bar cover to access the sprocket and bar. Take note of the cutter direction, then remove the old chain. Place the new chain in the bar groove with cutters oriented forward on the top rail. Loop it onto the drive sprocket, replace the cover, and turn the tension adjuster until the chain sits snug with minimal sag. Spin the chain by hand to confirm it moves freely.
Common questions
Q: Will this 3-pack of 10-inch replacement chain fit my Black & Decker LCS1020 20V Max chainsaw without any modification?
Yes, these chains are made for the Black & Decker LCS1020 and match the 10-inch bar size that saw uses. As long as your saw is the LCS1020 model with the original 10-inch setup, the chain should install normally with no modification.
Q: How do I know if the chain is installed and tensioned correctly on my LCS1020?
After installing the chain, make sure the cutting teeth on the top of the bar are facing forward and that the chain sits fully in the bar groove. Tension it so the chain can be pulled slightly away from the bar by hand but still snaps back into place; if it hangs loose underneath, it needs adjustment.
Q: Do these replacement chains need sharpening or extra maintenance before using them on the Black & Decker LCS1020?
They typically come ready to use, but you should still check chain tension before the first cut and again after a few minutes of operation since new chains can stretch slightly. Keep the bar and chain oiled during use and clean sawdust from the bar groove and sprocket area to help the chain cut smoothly and last longer.
