Additional Information
The 20-in Chain S35G .325 .058 78DL is a generic aftermarket replacement part suitable for various chainsaw models requiring a chain of this specification. It is built to handle moderate to heavy-duty cutting tasks. The semi-chisel design is less aggressive than a full chisel chain but provides a longer-lasting sharpness, making it a versatile choice for both homeowners and professionals.
When installing a new chain, always ensure the chainsaw is powered off and the engine is cool. Prior to installation, verify the chain's orientation is correct, with the cutting teeth facing forward on the top of the chainsaw bar. Once installed, adjust the chain tension according to the manufacturer's specifications to prevent it from being either too tight or too loose, which can lead to premature wear or potential safety hazards.
Regular maintenance of the chain is essential for optimal performance. This includes keeping it sharp, properly lubricated, and ensuring the tension is checked and adjusted before each use. A worn or damaged chain should be replaced immediately to maintain the safety and efficiency of your chainsaw.
