How to Choose the Right Chainsaw Chain

When selecting a replacement chain, consider the following:

• Bar Length: The chain must match the bar size of your chainsaw
  
  
• Pitch & Gauge: Confirm the pitch (e.g., 3/8", 0.325") and gauge (e.g., .043", .050") as per your saw’s requirements
  
  
• Drive Links: Count the number of drive links to ensure a correct fit
  
  
• Cutting Style: Choose semi-chisel for durability or full-chisel for speed

Maintenance Tips for Chainsaw Chains

Maximise performance and extend chain life with regular upkeep:

• Sharpen the chain when it begins to slow or produce fine sawdust
• Keep the chain clean and properly lubricated
• Tension the chain before each use to prevent kickback or derailment
• Inspect for damage and replace worn or broken links immediately
• Store in a dry location to prevent rust

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I know which chain fits my chainsaw?

Check your user manual or the current chain’s pitch, gauge, bar length, and drive link count to match specifications exactly.

Can I use a universal chain on any chainsaw?

Only if the chain matches your saw’s required specs. Using the wrong chain can lead to poor performance or safety issues.

What’s the difference between full-chisel and semi-chisel chains?

Full-chisel chains have square-cornered teeth for faster cuts in clean wood, while semi-chisel chains have rounded teeth for better durability and versatility.

How often should I replace my chainsaw chain?

Replace your chain when sharpening is no longer effective or if it shows signs of damage, excessive stretch, or uneven cutting.
