Frequently Asked Questions

What chainsaws is the 49-16-2755 guide bar compatible with?
This bar fits chainsaws with a K095 tail mount that accept narrow kerf chains with .325" pitch, .050" gauge, 20" length, and 78 drive links. Milwaukee specifically recommends it for use with the M18 FUEL™ 20" Dual Battery Chainsaw (2827-22). Always verify tail mount and chain compatibility with your specific saw before installing.

Which chain should I use with the 49-16-2755 guide bar?
Milwaukee recommends the 49-16-2752 20" .325" Pitch .050" Gauge Narrow Kerf Saw Chain. This bar requires a narrow kerf chain — do not use standard kerf chains, as they will not fit correctly and may create a safety hazard.

What is the advantage of a narrow kerf bar?
A narrow kerf bar removes less material per cut, requiring less energy from the motor on each pass. On a cordless system like the M18 FUEL™, this directly translates to more cuts per battery charge — a meaningful advantage in high-volume cutting applications.

What is a multi-rivet nose and why does it matter for bore cutting?
A multi-rivet nose uses multiple rivets to secure the nose sprocket assembly, providing greater structural integrity under the high lateral stresses generated during bore cuts (plunge cuts). This makes the bar more durable and reliable in demanding felling and limbing applications where bore cutting is required.
