Useful Information

All chainsaw chains are marked with a manufacturers code on one side of the drive link – this number identifies the type of chain your saw uses.

Next you’ll need to measure how long your chain is – please don’t use a tape measure as your chain will have stretched over time. Simply count the number of drive links.

There are four basic components of saw chain 

1. Cutter
2. Rivet
