FAQs

What is the difference between a full chisel and a semi-chisel chain?

Full chisel chains have square-cornered cutters for aggressive, fast cutting, ideal for professionals. Semi-chisel chains have rounded corners, offering better durability and smoother cutting, often preferred for less demanding use or by beginners.

How often should I sharpen this chain?

Sharpening frequency depends on usage and conditions. For professional use, it's often recommended to sharpen after every fuel fill or when you notice a decrease in cutting performance. Aim to maintain a sharp cutting edge for optimal efficiency and safety.

Can I use this chain on a non-Husqvarna saw?

This chain is specifically engineered for optimal performance and fit on compatible Husqvarna professional models. While it might physically fit a saw with the correct bar specifications, Husqvarna does not guarantee performance or safety on other brands. Always confirm compatibility.

What does the '18"' in the product name refer to?

The '18"' refers to the length of the guide bar for which this chain is designed. It indicates the cutting length of the chainsaw assembly.

How do I know if my Husqvarna saw is compatible?

Check the model number on your chainsaw. This chain fits Husqvarna models: 562XP, 562XPG, 390XP, 565, 585, 572XP. Also, ensure your saw's guide bar has the correct pitch (3/8") and gauge (1.5 mm).

What is the benefit of 'low stretch'?

Low stretch means the chain requires less frequent tension adjustments during use. This leads to more consistent cutting performance, reduced wear on the bar and chain, and less downtime for maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Chain not cutting efficiently

Check if the chain is sharp. Sharpen or replace if dull. Ensure proper chain tension and adequate lubrication.

Chain stretches excessively

Verify the correct chain pitch (3/8") and gauge (1.5mm) for your saw. Check for damage to the chain or bar. Ensure proper lubrication.

Chain is difficult to move by hand

The chain is likely overtightened. Loosen the bar nuts and readjust tension to allow free movement.

Chain vibrates excessively during use

Ensure the chain is properly seated on the bar and sprocket. Check for missing or damaged cutters. Verify chain tension is correct.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast and efficient cutting performance
  • Exceptional durability for professional use
  • Maintains sharpness for extended periods
  • Reduced chain stretch minimizes adjustments
  • Designed for optimal integration with Husqvarna professional saws
  • Lowers overall ownership costs due to longevity and reduced maintenance

Cons

  • Specifically designed for professional Husqvarna models, not universal
  • Full chisel design may be less forgiving for novice users compared to semi-chisel
  • Requires specific pitch (3/8") and gauge (1.5 mm) for compatibility
  • Higher initial cost compared to consumer-grade chains

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This 18" X-Cut C85 chain is designed for specific professional Husqvarna chainsaws. Ensure your saw model is listed among the compatible models: Husqvarna 562XP, 562XPG, 390XP, 565, 585, 572XP. Verify that your saw's bar has the correct pitch (3/8") and gauge (1.5 mm) to match this chain.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the chainsaw is turned off and the chain brake is engaged.
  2. Loosen the bar nuts.
  3. Adjust the chain tension using the saw's tensioning mechanism. The chain should be snug against the bar but still movable by hand in a clockwise direction. It should snap back when pulled forward.
  4. Tighten the bar nuts securely.
  5. Disengage the chain brake and run the chain at a moderate speed for a few seconds to seat it properly. Check tension again and readjust if necessary.

Care:

  • Keep the chain sharp. A dull chain cuts inefficiently, increases wear on the bar and chain, and can be dangerous.
  • Ensure proper chain lubrication. Use a high-quality bar and chain oil.
  • Clean the chain, bar groove, and drive sprocket regularly to remove sawdust and debris.
  • Check chain tension frequently, especially during the break-in period and after extended use.
