2PC 14" Replacement Chain for Kobalt KCS 4040-06 40v Chainsaw, 14 Inch Chainsaw Chain for SKIL CS4555-10 Chainsaw

Compatible 14-inch replacement chain for select Kobalt and SKIL saws

This 2-piece 14-inch replacement chain is made for select cordless chainsaws that use a 14-inch bar, including the Kobalt KCS 4040-06 40v Chainsaw and the SKIL CS4555-10 40v Chainsaw. If your saw matches one of those models and your current chain specs match your bar, this set gives you two replacement chains so you can swap one on and keep working.

Will this chain fit your saw?

This chain is listed as a fit for these models:

• Kobalt KCS 4040-06 40v Chainsaw
• SKIL CS4555-10 40v Chainsaw

Package includes:

• 2Pcs 14-Inch Chain

To confirm fitment, do not rely on bar length alone. A 14-inch chainsaw chain must also match the bar and drive system in three key ways:

• Pitch
• Gauge
• Drive-link count

The easiest way to verify this is to check the markings on your guide bar or the information printed in your saw’s owner’s manual. Your existing chain may also have identifying information on the package if you still have it. For a chain to fit correctly, all four details need to line up:

• Bar length: 14”
• Pitch: must match your bar/sprocket
• Gauge: must match the bar groove width
• Drive-link count: must match the exact bar requirement

If you own a Kobalt KCS 4040-06 40v Chainsaw or a SKIL CS4555-10 40v Chainsaw, this listing is intended for those models. Still, it is always smart to compare your original chain specs before ordering, especially if the bar or chain has been changed previously.

Replacing the chain

Before replacing the chain, remove the battery and make sure the saw cannot start accidentally.

1. Remove the battery and let the saw cool completely.
2. Loosen the side cover and remove the bar/chain cover according to your saw’s normal service procedure.
3. Take off the old chain, then clean sawdust and debris from around the drive sprocket, bar groove, and cover area.
4. Install the new 14-inch chain onto the guide bar and around the sprocket, making sure the cutter direction is correct. The cutting edges on the top of the bar should face forward toward the bar tip.
5. Reinstall the side cover, then adjust chain tension so the chain sits snugly on the bar but can still be pulled around by hand while wearing gloves.
6. Reinstall the battery, add bar-and-chain oil if needed, and test the saw at low speed to confirm proper tracking and lubrication.

A new chain can stretch slightly during initial use, so check tension again after the first few cuts.

Keeping it sharp

A sharp chain cuts faster, puts less strain on the motor, and is safer to use than a dull one.

• 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.
• Make sure the bar-oil reservoir is filled and that the chain is receiving lubrication. Running a chain dry causes rapid wear.
• Avoid cutting into dirt, old fencing, or anything embedded in the wood. Even brief contact with abrasive material can dull the cutters quickly.

If the saw starts producing fine dust instead of chips, pulls to one side, or requires extra pressure to cut, it is time to sharpen or replace the chain.

FAQ

Will this fit any 14-inch chainsaw?

No. A 14-inch bar length is only one part of fitment. Your saw must also use the same pitch, gauge, and drive-link count. This chain is specifically listed for the Kobalt KCS 4040-06 40v Chainsaw and SKIL CS4555-10 40v Chainsaw.

Why are two chains included?

The package includes 2Pcs 14-Inch Chain, which is convenient if you want to keep a spare ready. Many users rotate chains so one can be sharpened while the other stays in service.
