Compatibility
Manufactured to fit Poulan PLN1514 without modification. Double-check your model number against the listing to ensure a correct match before installation.
Installation notes
Turn off the chainsaw and remove its power source before servicing. Unscrew the bar cover, back off the tensioner, and pull the old chain free. Route the fresh chain around the clutch drum and into the bar groove, making sure the drive links seat properly. Tighten the tensioner until the chain snaps snugly against the underside of the bar but still slides freely, then run the saw briefly at idle to confirm smooth tracking.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack 14-inch chain fit my Poulan PLN1514, and do I need to match the 3/8 pitch exactly?
Yes, this chain set is made to be compatible with the Poulan PLN1514 using a 14-inch bar and 3/8 pitch chain. You do need to match the pitch exactly, and it’s also a good idea to confirm your current bar and chain specs on the saw or bar stamp before installing.
Q: I’m replacing the chain on my Poulan PLN1514 for the first time—do I need to tension this 14-inch chain differently after installation?
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. Check the tension again after the first few minutes of cutting, because a new chain will usually stretch slightly as it seats in.
Q: Since this comes as a 2-piece 14-inch chainsaw chain set, how should I maintain the spare chain while using the first one on my Poulan PLN1514?
Keep the spare chain clean, lightly oiled, and stored in a dry place to prevent rust. Rotating between the two chains is helpful because it lets you sharpen one while using the other, and it reduces wear from running a dull chain too long on the bar and sprocket.
