Overview
Designed as a direct-fit aftermarket replacement, this chainsaw chain delivers clean cuts right out of the box. Chains lose their edge over time through normal use, and repeated sharpening eventually reduces the cutter height below effective levels. A new chain is the most cost-effective way to bring a chainsaw back to full cutting speed.
Key specifications
- Replacement chainsaw chain
- Pre-sharpened cutters ready for immediate use
- Heat-treated for extended cutting life
Compatibility
This chain is designed to fit Greenworks chainsaws and compatible models listed above. Confirm the pitch, gauge, and drive link count match your bar’s specifications before ordering.
Installation notes
Power down the saw and remove the clutch cover to access the bar and chain assembly. Loop the new chain around the bar groove and engage it with the drive sprocket. Adjust tension so the chain can be pulled away from the bar slightly but springs back into the groove cleanly.
Common questions
Q: Will this 16 inch chain and bar fit my Greenworks CS60L252 or Oregon CS1400, or do I need to match the chain specs first?
Yes—this set is built around the key specs those saws use: 16 inch bar length, 3/8 low-profile pitch, .050 gauge, and 56 drive links. If your current chain is marked 3/8, .050, 56DL, it should fit models like the Greenworks 2019202/CS60L252/CS80L417 and Oregon CS1400 correctly.
Q: I have a RYOBI RY3716 and my old chain keeps loosening. When installing this 16 inch bar and chain, is there anything special I should do?
Make sure the chain teeth face forward on the top of the bar, then set the tension so the chain sits snug in the bar groove but can still be pulled around by hand with gloves. After the first few cuts, recheck tension because a new 56DL chain will usually stretch slightly during break-in.
Q: Does this 3-pack chain and bar setup need any special maintenance on a CRAFTSMAN CMECS600 or WEN 4017?
Keep the bar oil reservoir full and clean the bar groove and oil hole regularly so the 16 inch bar gets proper lubrication. It also helps to rotate or inspect the bar for uneven wear and sharpen or replace the 3/8 .050 chain when it starts producing fine dust instead of wood chips.
