Installation notes
Disconnect the spark plug wire or remove the battery before changing a chainsaw chain. Remove the bar cover, release bar tension, and take off the old chain. Place the new chain into the bar groove with the cutting teeth facing forward on top. Reinstall the cover, adjust chain tension until snug, and test by pulling the chain around the bar by hand. Re-check tension after a few minutes of use.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack 16 inch chain fit my Greenworks CS80L211, and do I need to match the 3/8 pitch exactly?
Yes, this chain is made for a 16-inch bar setup and is compatible with the Greenworks CS80L211. You do need to match the 3/8 pitch exactly, because the pitch must match the drive sprocket and bar nose for the chain to run correctly and safely.
Q: I have a Greenworks CS80L211 and want to swap in one of these chains myself. Is there anything important I should check during installation?
Make sure the cutters are facing forward on the top side of the bar, then set the chain tension so it sits snug in the bar groove but can still be pulled around by hand with gloves on. After a few minutes of cutting, recheck the tension since a new chain will usually stretch slightly during initial use.
Q: Since this is a 2PC 16 inch chainsaw chain set, how should I maintain the second chain and when should I rotate them?
It’s a good idea to keep the spare chain clean, lightly oiled, and stored in a dry place to prevent rust. Many users rotate chains when the installed one starts cutting slower or after sharpening cycles, which helps reduce wear on the bar and keeps the Greenworks CS80L211 cutting more consistently.
