Previous page Next page 3/8" LP Pitch Pitch represents the gap between drive links. Measure the pitch by counting three links in a row and dividing the total by two. 0.043" Gauge The chain gauge is the thickness of each drive link, determined by measuring the segment of the drive link located within the groove of the guide bar. 52 Drive Links Count each drive link to determine the total number of drive links on your saw chain. 14-inch Guide bar Length Find the guide bar length by measuring from the bottom of the guide bar to the tip.

Please double-check all the measurements (the length, pitch, gauge, drive links) on your chainsaw's model before purchasing! Are standard 3/8" pitch chains and 3/8" LP pitch chains interchangeable? No, they are not interchangeable. The difference in size and shape of the drive links is the main reason, therefore they will need different bar sprockets to fit in. What is the difference between a Semi-chisel and a Full-chisel cutter? Which chain should I choose? Semi-chisel cutter has rounded edge, which makes it cut slower but stays sharp better and has lower kickback risk. Full-chisel chain will cut faster but is sensitive to dirt, which should be used by experienced users for clean softwood only. When does the saw chain need to be sharpened? Beware of the following symptoms: chain hardly eats into the wood, jumpy sawing, increased sawdust, only cutting in one direction, smoke emissions despite functioning lubrication. How do I keep my saw chain from getting dull? Please take a few moments to clean away any obvious sand, dirt, rocks, nails, or soil on the wood before cutting. Always ensure that the chain is clean, sharp, and well-lubricated before each cut. What should I do to avoid kickbacks besides using low-kickback chains? Hold firmly with both hands - Don't overreach - Don't let the nose of the guide bar contact any object - Don't cut above shoulder height - Cut only one log at a time - Run the saw at full power when cutting - Stand to the side of cutting path
