Overview
Bundled as 2 chains, this chain is a direct replacement for Worx WG304 models. A worn chain strains the motor and increases kickback risk, so timely replacement keeps your saw running safely and efficiently.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 18”
- Pitch: 3/8”
- Gauge: .050”
- Drive links: 63
- Quantity: 2 chains per pack
Compatibility
Manufactured to fit Worx WG304 without modification. Check your owner’s manual or the existing chain’s markings to verify pitch, gauge, and drive link count before ordering.
Installation notes
Power down the saw and disconnect the battery or spark plug lead. Remove the side cover and release bar tension. Take the old chain off the bar and sprocket, then thread the new chain into the bar groove, confirming the cutting edges face forward on the top rail. Set the tension so the chain pulls freely without sagging away from the bar, and do a brief test run to verify everything tracks correctly.
Common questions
Q: Will this 18-inch 3/8 pitch chain fit my Worx WG304 electric chainsaw, or do I need to match anything else besides the bar length?
Yes, this chain is made to fit the Worx WG304 with an 18-inch bar and 3/8 pitch, so it matches the key specs for that saw. Before installing, it’s still smart to compare the old chain markings and confirm your bar hasn’t been swapped to a different setup, since bar length and pitch both need to match.
Q: Since this is a 2-pack, can I swap between the two chains on my WG304 to make them last longer?
Yes, alternating between the two chains is a good maintenance habit, especially on a saw like the WG304 that may see longer cutting sessions. Rotate them after sharpening or when one starts to dull, and keep proper chain tension each time you reinstall so the bar and drive system wear more evenly.
Q: Do I need to do anything special when installing this replacement chain on my Worx WG304 for the first time?
After fitting the chain, make sure the cutting teeth on the top of the bar face forward, then set the tension so the chain sits snugly but still pulls around by hand with light resistance. Run the saw briefly, let the chain settle, and recheck tension again, because a new chain will often stretch slightly during initial use.
