Overview
Comes in a convenient 2-pack, this chain is a direct replacement for CRAFTSMAN CMECS614 models. Chains wear down over time from regular use, and a fresh chain cuts faster and safer than a dull one.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 14”
- Quantity: 2 chains per pack
Compatibility
Engineered for direct compatibility with CRAFTSMAN CMECS614. Cross-reference your saw’s model number with the product listing to confirm compatibility.
Installation notes
Begin by shutting off the saw and disconnecting the power source. Loosen the bar-mounting fasteners and remove the side cover to access the chain. Slide the worn chain off, seat the replacement around the sprocket and into the bar groove with cutters pointing in the direction of rotation. Tighten the tensioning screw until there is slight play but no droop, then secure the cover.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack of 14” chains fit my CRAFTSMAN CMECS614, or do I need to match anything besides the bar length?
Yes, this set is made for the CRAFTSMAN CMECS614 and matches the 14-inch bar size used on that saw. It’s still a good idea to confirm the chain specs stamped on your current bar or in your manual so the pitch, gauge, and drive link count all match before installation.
Q: I have a CRAFTSMAN CMECS614 and my old chain keeps loosening. If I install one of these new 14” chains, is there anything special I should do?
After installing the new chain, tension it so the chain sits snug against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand with gloves on. Run the saw briefly, then recheck the tension because a new chain can stretch slightly during the first few cuts.
Q: Since this comes with 2 chains for a 14” CRAFTSMAN CMECS614, how should I maintain them to make them last longer?
A good habit is to alternate between the two chains so wear stays more even on the bar and sprocket. Keep the chain properly tensioned, make sure the saw’s oiling system is working, and touch up the cutters regularly instead of waiting until the chain becomes very dull.
