Chainsaw Chains Ireland: Check the compatbility
Each Stihl chainsaw model is compatible with specific chains. You need to know a few terms to make an informed decision – Pitch, Chain Length, Chain Gauge, and File Size.
Pitch and Chain Length
The pitch represents the distance between the centres of adjacent rivets divided by two, usually expressed in inches. Chain length is also crucial; different models accommodate chains of varying lengths. You need to match these specifications with your chainsaw model.
Chain Gauge and File Size
Chain gauge is the thickness of the drive link that fits into the bar of your chainsaw. You want a snug fit here. Similarly, maintaining your chain’s sharpness is crucial. You’ll need a file size that fits your chain for effective sharpening. A sharp chain is not just more efficient; it’s also safer.
Place Your Order
Double-check the correct specifications for the make and model of your chainsaw before you pick the chainsaw chain that matches your requirements and proceed to checkout. We deliver across Ireland, making the process seamless for you.
Quick Tips for Chainsaw Chain Maintenance
- Always opt for a high-quality chain oil for lubrication.
- Keep the chain razor-sharp; use the correct Stihl sharpening tools.
- Check the chain tension; a centimetre of slack is ideal.
- Never compromise with a dull chain; it’s a safety hazard.
- Having a spare chain is always a good idea.
