Overview
This 10” pole saw bar and chain replacement enables overhead limb cutting without a ladder. When the original bar develops worn rails or the chain loses effective cutting depth, replacement is the safest and most efficient fix. This aftermarket set is built to OEM dimensions for a direct swap on compatible pole saws.
Key specifications
- 10” pole saw replacement bar

- Integrated nose sprocket for smooth chain travel
Compatibility
This pole saw bar is compatible with EGO models as specified above. Double-check the bar mount pattern and chain specifications against your pole saw’s documentation before ordering.
Installation notes
Disconnect the pole saw from power and allow the chain brake to engage. Remove the bar cover and slide the old bar off the mounting studs. Install the new bar, fit the chain around the sprocket and bar nose, and tension according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Common questions
Q: Will this 10 inch replacement bar chain fit both my EGO PSA1000 pole saw attachment and my Milwaukee 3016-20PS cordless pole saw?
Yes, this replacement chain is made for the EGO PSA1000 and MPS1000, and it also fits the Milwaukee pole saw setups that use replacement bar/chain part 48-09-5001, including 2825-21PS, 2825-20PS, 3016-20PS, and 3016-21PS. The most important thing is matching your saw’s original 10 inch bar and the 48-09-5001 style setup on the Milwaukee units.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install this chain on my Milwaukee 2825-21PS pole saw attachment?
You typically only need the basic bar cover wrench or scrench that fits your pole saw to loosen the side cover, release chain tension, and swap the chain. After installation, make sure the chain is seated correctly in the bar groove and around the drive sprocket, then tension it so it snaps back lightly by hand without hanging loose under the bar.
Q: How do I know when this 10 inch pole saw chain needs sharpening or replacement on my EGO MPS1000?
If the saw starts producing fine sawdust instead of wood chips, cuts more slowly, or pulls to one side, the chain usually needs sharpening. Replace it if the cutters are heavily worn, the chain stretches excessively even after adjustment, or the drive links and rivets show visible damage.
