Check that the complete model name and product number (PNC) match the rating plate before choosing.
How to check the chain dimensions
Start with the guide bar article number
Read the markings on the guide bar. The complete number is required — length alone is not enough.
I do not know / cannot find the article number
Switch off the saw before examining the markings. Look for a complete article number and dimensions near the guide-bar mount.
Only have length, pitch, gauge and drive-link count? Search using the dimensions you can read. This identifies candidates but does not prove that the guide bar fits the saw.
If the markings are missing, take the model designation, serial number and any markings you can find to a dealer for identification. See the guide’s sources and limitations.
