Chain 581562201

Specifications

16"

Description:

This is an authentic Poulan replacement chain designed for use with chainsaws. It is a key component of a chainsaw which mechanically cuts the material. Over time the chain will stretch, become dull or break. Keep an eye on the condition of the chain and replace as needed. Please note this chain is only for use with 16" bars. Includes one (1) metal cutting chain per order.

The only tool needed for this repair is the scwrench that most likely came with your chainsaw. Otherwise, a flat head screwdriver and a socket wrench will do just fine.

• Remove the guide bar side panel
• Release the chain tension
• Remove the old chain
• Loosen the tension screw
• Thread the new chain onto the saw
• Align the guide bar
• Replace the side plate
• Tighten the chain to the correct tension
• Finish tightening the side plate nuts

OEM replacement chainsaw chain

Exactly what I ordered much cheaper than high street stores. Only complaint was not with the product but with USPS. The product sat in one of their facilities for two days so that it could be delivered on the date specified. Not complaining as the item was delivered when promised but felt the Post Office could have exceeded expectations rather than meeting expectations.
