Opuladuo 10" Replacement Chain for Milwaukee 2825-21PS 2825-20PS Pole Saw

This 10-inch replacement chain is made for Milwaukee pole saw setups that use the 49-16-2720 pole saw attachment, including Milwaukee 2825-21PS and 2825-20PS pole saw models as listed by the original fitment information. It also replaces Milwaukee chain part number 49-16-2723.

If you’re replacing a worn, dull, or damaged chain on one of those Milwaukee pole saws, this is the fitment to verify first before ordering.

Will this chain fit your saw?

The safest way to confirm fit is to match your current setup in four areas:

• Bar length: 10”
• Pitch: match the marking on your current chain or bar
• Gauge: match the bar/chain specification on your saw
• Drive-link count: count the drive links on the old chain or confirm from the original chain spec

For this listing, the compatible Milwaukee fitment given is:

• Milwaukee 2825-21PS pole saw
• Milwaukee 2825-20PS pole saw
• Milwaukee 49-16-2720 pole saw attachment
• Replaces chain part number 49-16-2723

Bar length alone is not enough to guarantee fit on every chainsaw or pole saw. Many 10-inch chains look similar, but pitch, gauge, and drive-link count must also match the bar and sprocket. If your current chain is the original chain for a Milwaukee 49-16-2720 attachment or it cross-references to Milwaukee 49-16-2723, this replacement is the correct application based on the provided listing information.

A quick note: pole saw chains are model-specific more often than buyers expect. If your tool is a different Milwaukee attachment or a different brand entirely, do not assume a 10-inch chain will fit just because the length matches.

Replacing the chain

Before starting, remove the battery or otherwise make sure the tool cannot start accidentally. Wear gloves when handling the chain.

1. Let the saw cool down, then remove the battery and place the pole saw on a stable surface.
2. Loosen the side cover and release chain tension according to your saw’s manual.
3. Remove the old chain from the bar and sprocket, then clean debris from the bar groove and sprocket area.
4. Install the new chain on the bar and around the drive sprocket, making sure the cutter direction matches the normal forward cutting direction on the top of the bar.
5. Re-tension the chain so it sits properly in the bar groove without hanging loose, then reinstall and secure the side cover.
6. Check chain tension again after a short test run, since a new chain can seat in and may need a slight adjustment.

If the chain will not seat correctly in the bar groove or seems too loose or too tight even with adjustment, stop and re-check that your bar, chain spec, and part number match the listed Milwaukee fitment.

Keeping it sharp

A sharp chain cuts faster, puts less load on the motor, and helps the pole saw self-feed more smoothly through limbs.

• Keep the chain properly tensioned. A loose chain can wear prematurely and cut poorly, while an overtightened chain can increase heat and bar wear.
• Avoid cutting dirty wood or letting the chain contact soil. Grit dulls cutters very quickly.
• Inspect the chain regularly for damaged cutters, uneven wear, or signs of overheating. Replace the chain if sharpening will no longer restore safe cutting performance.

Good lubrication also matters. Make sure your pole saw’s bar-and-chain oil system is working correctly, because a dry chain will lose its edge faster and wear the bar more quickly.
