Overview
Bundled as 2 chains, this chain is a direct replacement for Husqvarna 350i 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”
- Quantity: 2 chains per pack
Compatibility
Engineered for direct compatibility with Husqvarna 350i. Double-check your model number against the listing to ensure a correct match before installation.
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 of 18-inch chains fit my Husqvarna 350i, or do I need to match anything besides the bar length?
Yes, these chains are intended for the Husqvarna 350i with an 18-inch bar, but you should still confirm the chain specs stamped on your current bar or in the saw manual. Matching bar length alone is not enough—you also want the correct pitch, gauge, and drive link count for your exact 18-inch setup.
Q: I’m replacing the chain on my Husqvarna 350i for the first time—do I need to do anything special when installing these 18-inch chains?
Make sure the cutter teeth on the top of the bar face forward, then set the chain tension so it sits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand with gloves on. After a few minutes of cutting, recheck tension because a new chain will usually stretch slightly during initial use.
Q: Since this comes with 2 chains, what’s the best way to maintain them on an 18-inch Husqvarna 350i?
It’s a good idea to rotate between the two chains instead of running one until it gets very dull, since that helps keep cutting performance more consistent. Keep both chains properly sharpened, maintain bar oil flow, and inspect the bar groove and drive sprocket regularly so the new chains wear evenly.
