Opuladuo 2PC 8 Inch Pole Saw Chain for Craftsman CMCCSP20M1 Chainsaw

If you need a replacement chain for a Craftsman cordless pole saw, this 2-pack 8-inch pole saw chain is intended for the Craftsman CMCCSP20 and CMCCSP20B. It is also listed as a replacement for part number CMZCSC8, making it a straightforward option when you want to keep the original cutting setup on your saw.

Will this chain fit your saw?

This chain is a match for the following models from the original listing:

• Craftsman CMCCSP20
• Craftsman CMCCSP20B

It also replaces:

• CMZCSC8

The quickest way to confirm fit is to check the information printed on your current guide bar or in your owner’s manual. Start with the bar length: this replacement is for an 8-inch bar. Since chains must match more than just bar length, you should also verify the other three fitment details your saw uses:

• Pitch
• Gauge
• Drive-link count

Those specs need to match your existing chain and bar exactly. Many owners assume any 8-inch chain will fit, but that is not always true. An 8-inch chain with the wrong pitch, gauge, or number of drive links may not tension correctly or run safely.

If your saw is a Craftsman CMCCSP20 or CMCCSP20B and your original replacement reference is CMZCSC8, this chain is the intended fit. If your saw has had the bar replaced, or if the markings on the bar are unreadable, compare the old chain carefully before ordering.

Replacing the chain

Always work safely when changing a pole saw chain. Wear gloves, remove the battery, and let the saw cool completely before you begin.

1. Remove the battery and place the pole saw on a stable surface.
2. Loosen the side cover and relieve chain tension so the old chain can be lifted off the bar and drive sprocket.
3. Clean sawdust and debris from the bar groove, sprocket area, and cover before installing the new chain.
4. Fit the new chain around the sprocket and along the guide bar, making sure the cutting edges face the correct direction of travel.
5. Reinstall the cover, then adjust chain tension until the chain sits snugly on the bar but still moves by hand.
6. Recheck the tension after a short test run, since a new chain can settle in quickly.

If you are unsure about the cutting direction, look at the top of the bar: the sharp cutting edges should point forward along the top run.

Keeping it sharp

A sharp chain cuts faster, puts less strain on the motor, and helps your pole saw stay easier to control.

• Keep the chain properly tensioned. A chain that is too loose can derail, while one that is too tight can wear the bar and drive components faster.
• Avoid cutting into dirt, fencing, or any material other than clean wood. Even brief contact with grit can dull a chain quickly.
• Check chain lubrication and general condition regularly. A dry or dirty chain will not cut as efficiently and can wear prematurely.

It is also a good idea to inspect the bar each time you change or sharpen the chain. Cleaning the bar groove and oil passages helps the new chain perform better.

FAQ

Does this fit both the CMCCSP20 and CMCCSP20B?
Yes. The original listing identifies this chain as an 8-inch replacement for both Craftsman CMCCSP20 and CMCCSP20B.

Is bar length alone enough to confirm fit?
No. Your saw must use an 8-inch bar, but you should also confirm pitch, gauge, and drive-link count against your current chain or bar markings. The listed replacement reference is CMZCSC8.
