14-inch replacement chain fitment overview

Fitting the chain onto the bar and sprocket

These 14-inch replacement chains are intended for a broad group of homeowner and light-duty chainsaws that use a 14-inch bar. Based on the original listing, they are matched to selected models from Worx, Sun Joe, GreenWorks, Husqvarna, RYOBI, Craftsman, ECHO, Makita, and BLACK+DECKER, making them a practical option when you need to restore cutting performance without replacing the whole saw.

If your saw is one of the models listed below, this chain may be a direct fit. The most important step is still to verify your saw’s chain specifications before ordering, since chainsaw fitment depends on more than bar length alone.

Will this chain fit your saw?

Measuring chain pitch, gauge and drive links

A 14-inch chain only fits correctly when all four key specs match your saw:

  • Bar length: 14 inches
  • Chain pitch: must match the sprocket and bar
  • Chain gauge: must match the bar groove width
  • Drive-link count: must match the exact bar/chain setup

Even if two saws both use a 14-inch bar, they may use different chain dimensions. For that reason, the safest way to confirm fitment is to check the markings on your current chain or guide bar, or consult your owner’s manual. If one of those specs does not match, the chain should not be used.

According to the original listing, this replacement chain is intended for the following models:

  • Worx WG305.1
  • Worx WG305
  • Sun Joe SWJ599E
  • Sun Joe SWJ699E
  • GreenWorks 20222
  • GreenWorks 9A 20012
  • Husqvarna 120 Mark II
  • Husqvarna 240
  • Husqvarna 135
  • RYOBI RY40530
  • RYOBI RY40503BTL
  • RYOBI RY405010BTL
  • RYOBI RY405100
  • RYOBI RY3714
  • Craftsman CMECS614
  • ECHO CS-310-14
  • Makita UC3551A
  • Makita EA3201SRBB
  • Makita EA3200SRBB
  • BLACK+DECKER BECS600

If your saw matches one of these model numbers, that is a good starting point. Still, confirm the chain specs on your exact bar and saw configuration, especially if the bar has been replaced before.

Replacing the chain

Follow these basic steps to change the chain safely:

  1. Turn the saw off, disconnect power or remove the spark plug lead/battery, and let the saw cool completely.
  2. Loosen the side cover and remove the bar/chain cover so the old chain can be taken off the sprocket and guide bar.
  3. Place the new chain around the drive sprocket and into the guide bar groove, making sure the cutter teeth face the correct cutting direction along the top of the bar.
  4. Reinstall the side cover loosely, then adjust chain tension until the chain sits snugly in the bar groove but can still be pulled around by hand with a gloved hand.
  5. Tighten the bar nuts or cover securely, then recheck tension before use.
  6. After a few test cuts, stop the saw and check tension again, since a new chain can settle in quickly.

Always refer to your saw’s manual for the exact tensioning method, because tool-free and wrench-tightened systems differ by brand and model.

Keeping it sharp

Sharpening a chainsaw chain cutter

A sharp chain cuts faster, straighter, and with less strain on the saw.

  • Keep the chain properly tensioned and lubricated. A loose or dry chain wears faster and can damage the bar.
  • Touch up the cutters regularly instead of waiting until the chain is badly dull. Light, frequent sharpening is easier than heavy corrective filing.
  • Avoid cutting into dirt, rocks, or pressure-treated debris. Even brief contact with abrasive material can dull a chain very quickly.

If the saw begins producing fine dust instead of chips, pulls to one side, or requires extra pressure to cut, it is usually time to sharpen or inspect the chain.

FAQ

Will this fit any 14-inch chainsaw?

No. A 14-inch bar alone is not enough to guarantee fit. The pitch, gauge, and drive-link count must also match your saw and bar.

Can I install this on a saw with a replacement bar?

Possibly, but you must verify the chain specs on the replacement bar itself. A saw listed above may no longer use the original chain size if the bar was changed.

How do I know the chain is installed the right way?

On the top of the bar, the sharp cutting edges should face forward, away from the saw body. If they face backward, the chain is installed incorrectly.

Why does my new chain loosen quickly at first?

That is common during initial use. New chains often stretch slightly as they break in, so check and adjust tension after the first few cuts.
