FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the X-Cut C85 chain?

The primary benefit is its combination of fast, efficient cutting and outstanding durability, designed for professional users to maximize productivity and minimize downtime.

What chainsaw models is this chain compatible with?

This 20-inch chain is compatible with Husqvarna models 592XP, 592XPG, 562XP, 562XPG, 390XP, 565, 585, and 572XP.

How often should I sharpen this chain?

Sharpening frequency depends on usage and wood type. A general rule is to sharpen when you notice a decrease in cutting speed or efficiency, or if the chain starts to 'wander'.

What does 'full chisel' mean for a chainsaw chain?

A full chisel chain has square-cornered cutters, offering aggressive and fast cutting performance, ideal for professional use in felling and bucking.

Is this chain suitable for occasional home use?

While it will perform, this chain is optimized for professional, full-time use. For occasional home use, a less aggressive chain might be more appropriate and easier to maintain.

What maintenance is required for the X-Cut C85 chain?

Regular maintenance includes ensuring proper lubrication, maintaining correct chain tension, and sharpening the cutters as needed. Keeping the chain and bar clean also extends its life.

What is the pitch and gauge of this chain?

This is a 3/8" pitch chain with a 1.5 mm (0.058") gauge.

Troubleshooting

Chain not cutting efficiently

Check if the chain is dull and needs sharpening. Verify correct chain tension and ensure the bar groove is clean and lubricated.

Chain stretches excessively

Ensure the automatic oiler is working correctly. Re-tension the chain and check for any damage or wear on the chain and drive sprocket.

Chain comes off the bar

Check chain tension – it may be too loose. Inspect the guide bar for wear or damage and ensure the drive sprocket is not worn.

Chain is sluggish or binding

Clean sawdust and debris from the bar groove and around the drive sprocket. Ensure adequate lubrication is being applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This chain is specifically designed to fit Husqvarna chainsaw models: 592XP, 592XPG, 562XP, 562XPG, 390XP, 565, 585, 572XP.

Setup:

  1. Ensure your chainsaw is turned off and the chain brake is engaged.
  2. Remove the bar and chain cover.
  3. Mount the new chain onto the guide bar, ensuring the cutters are oriented correctly for forward rotation (the leading edge of the cutter should point forward along the top of the bar).
  4. Install the guide bar and chain onto the chainsaw, securing it with the mounting bolts.
  5. Adjust the chain tension according to your chainsaw's manual. The chain should be snug but still pull freely around the bar by hand.
  6. Reinstall the bar and chain cover and tighten the mounting bolts.

Care:

  • Lubrication: Ensure the chainsaw's automatic oiler is functioning correctly and the bar is adequately lubricated during use.
  • Tension: Regularly check and adjust chain tension. A properly tensioned chain is crucial for safety and performance.
  • Sharpening: Sharpen the chain when performance decreases or if it becomes dull. Use a round file and guide appropriate for the 3/8" pitch and .050" gauge.
  • Cleaning: Clean the chain, bar, and sprockets regularly to remove sawdust and debris, which can impede performance and increase wear.
