In this guide, we\u2019re going over how to change your chainsaw chain and ways to prolong its life once it\u2019s on there.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div   class='hr hr-default   avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Need a new chain for your chainsaw?

Only taking the chainsaw out once in a great while? It could potentially last for decades! To know for sure, you need to check the chain regularly and pay attention to how it handles when you do use it.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the signs that it\u2019s time to get a new chain for that chainsaw:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wear marks reached.<\/b> Some brands print wear markers on their chainsaw chains. If the teeth on a chainsaw chain have worn down to those markers, it\u2019s time to buy a new one. Easy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Missing teeth. <\/b>If you\u2019ve found the chain is missing teeth, your chainsaw chain needs replacing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Broken teeth.<\/b> If you\u2019re seeing broken teeth on the chain, do not use the chainsaw until you have replaced the chain. Weakened teeth are a significant safety hazard.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rattling, vibration, and difficulty with handling.<\/b> A chainsaw that\u2019s in good shape should remain stable while in use. If you\u2019re getting a lot of bouncing or excessive vibration that makes it hard to keep the chainsaw stable, your chain is past due for replacement. Swap it out before you use the chainsaw again.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Crooked cuts.<\/b> Jagged cuts are a sign that the chain\u2019s teeth are dull. Sometimes, sharpening can solve this issue, but make sure your chain can still handle another sharpening session.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The chainsaw smokes when in use. <\/b>This may be an issue of inadequate lubrication or over tightening of the chain, but if you\u2019ve got enough lubricant on the chain and the tension is correct, replacing your chain could fix the issue. Keep in mind that regardless of the reason, a smoking chainsaw is a chainsaw that\u2019s unsafe to use and is likely wearing down or causing damage to its own components. Fix that problem as soon as possible to extend the life of your lawn equipment.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The chainsaw needs extra pressure to move through wood.<\/b> You shouldn\u2019t have to use a lot of force to get your chainsaw to cut through wood. If you\u2019re having to press down to get the chainsaw to cut or to keep it stable, you\u2019re probably using a chain that needs to be replaced \u2013 and adding a lot of unnecessary work for yourself, in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Causes Damage To A Chainsaw Chain?<\/h2>\n<p>All chainsaw chains will wear out eventually. That\u2019s just the nature of their job! There are a few things, though, that can cause your chainsaw chain to wear out faster \u2013 or even break while in use.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Insufficient, excessive, or incorrect lubricant. <\/b>Lubrication is key to keeping your chainsaw in working order, so using the incorrect lubricant on the bar and chain, or using an insufficient (or excessive) amount can lead to overheating, which will damage the entire machine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dirt and rocks.<\/b> Any time your chainsaw blade comes in contact with dirt while it\u2019s running, you\u2019re hiking up just how quickly those teeth will wear down. Rocks pose a more immediate threat, and can outright break teeth or the chain, itself.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ice<\/b>, like dirt and rocks, can wear down or chip your chainsaw teeth.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Nails<\/b> are something you should be aware of when using your chainsaw on logs or man-made items like fencing. Like rocks, nails can potentially cause some serious, dangerous damage to your chainsaw chain.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Improper storage<\/b> can lead to rust, which can be removed, but will still weaken the chain. Make sure you\u2019re properly cleaning and storing your chainsaw after each use, and don\u2019t leave it out where it can be exposed to the elements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Finding The Right Replacement Part<\/h2>\n<p>For safety and an all around easier time cutting, you need a chain that fits your chainsaw perfectly, but figuring out exactly which chain to buy might seem overwhelming. You\u2019ll need to take a few measurements first to know what to look for, and you may be able to find this information somewhere on your chainsaw \u2013 like on the bar.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bar length<\/b>, sometimes just called chainsaw length, is a measure of the bar from near the end to the point where it meets the chainsaw case. This is always an even number ranging, usually, from 10 to 24 inches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pitch <\/b>is the distance between the chain\u2019s links. To determine this, you measure the distance between three consecutive rivets and divide by two. The most common pitch measurement is \u215c or .325-inch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gauge<\/b> is the width of the groove where the chain is seated on the bar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you know what you need, you\u2019ll be able to track down compatible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/chainsaw-parts.html\">chainsaw replacement parts<\/a> pretty quickly! Measurements are almost always listed plainly on chainsaw chain product information or packaging.<\/p>\n<p>Got your compatible replacement part? Alright, let\u2019s get it installed!<\/p>\n<h2>How To Replace a Chainsaw Chain<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve provided a basic overview of how to replace the chain on a chainsaw here, as most chainsaw chains are changed out the same way. More specific instructions will depend on the brand and model of your particular chainsaw.<\/p>\n<h3>Tools for the job<\/h3>\n<p>This is ordinary maintenance, so you don\u2019t need much to swap out your chainsaw chain. Just have the following tools handy before you begin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Socket Wrench<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Flathead Screwdriver<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Work Gloves &#8211; chainsaw chain teeth are sharp! Wear gloves to avoid cutting yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Replacing A Chainsaw Chain<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>First of all, make sure the chainsaw is off and completely cool.<\/b> Don\u2019t do any work on your garden tools if they\u2019re powered on. If your chainsaw was running recently, give it a few minutes to cool down before you start to avoid accidentally burning yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Disengage the chain brake.<\/b> On some models, having the chain brake engaged when you do this will make the new chain much more difficult to install.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Using a socket, remove the two bolts holding the bar onto the chainsaw body and remove the side plate. <\/b>This will give you access to the chain.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Loosen and remove the chain.<\/b> You can accomplish this by pulling the chainsaw bar away from the body. This will free the chain from the tensioner, allowing you to easily slip it off.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Inspect and clean up!<\/b> Check the bar itself for any signs of damage \u2013 make sure it\u2019s not cracked, dented, or bent. If it\u2019s in good shape, it\u2019s time to clean it up. Clean the groove out to remove any sawdust or other debris that might\u2019ve built up, and then clean the oil holes out as well.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Find the tensioning screw and loosen it.<\/b> This flathead screw manages how tight the chain sits on the bar, so loosen it up before you put the new chain on to have an easier time with the install. You\u2019ll likely find the tensioning screw near where the guide bar meets the body, though some chainsaw models place it between the two bolts that held the side panel on.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Install the new chainsaw blade.<\/b><b> <\/b>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Starting at the clutch drum, work the chain up the bar to the end of the chainsaw. The blade\u2019s links should be pointing away from you \u2013 in the direction the saw turns.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Make sure the drive links are properly engaged in the sprocket.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Apply a bit of tension as you go to make sure everything is aligned properly. You can do this by gently pulling the bar away from the chainsaw body at the nose.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reinstall the side case and the bolts that hold it on, but don\u2019t tighten the bolts down completely.<\/b> Check that the chainsaw chain can move freely once you\u2019ve threaded the bolts on.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tighten down the tensioning screw.<\/b> The chain should have a little give on the guide bar so that it can move freely, but not be slack. You shouldn\u2019t be able to pull the links out of the bar nose.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tighten the bolts down completely.<\/b> Once you\u2019ve got the right tension on your chain, you can finish tightening the other bolts back on.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Double check the chain brake.<\/b> The chain should not be able to move when the brake is engaged.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Changing out the blade on your chainsaw isn\u2019t a tough job, but it does require some precision.
