Installation notes
Start by removing the battery or disconnecting the power cord. Pop off the sprocket cover, slide the old chain free, and thread the replacement onto the bar and drive sprocket.

Common questions
Q: Will this 5 inch pruning chainsaw chain fit my BAUER 231113C-B mini chainsaw, or do I need to match anything besides the bar length?
Yes, this chain is made to fit the BAUER 231113C-B with a 5 inch bar. Bar length is the main fitment point here, but it’s still smart to compare your old chain’s layout and tensioner position before installation to make sure everything matches correctly.
Q: How do I know if this replacement chain is installed at the right tension on my BAUER 231113C-B?
After installing it, the chain should sit snugly on the 5 inch bar but still pull slightly away by hand without coming off the guide bar. If it sags underneath, it’s too loose, and if it won’t move around the bar by hand, it’s too tight and can wear the bar and motor faster.
Q: What maintenance does this 5 inch pruning chainsaw chain need to keep cutting well on the BAUER 231113C-B?
Keep the chain clean, properly tensioned, and lightly lubricated during use so it doesn’t overheat or dull prematurely. It also helps to check for sap buildup and touch up the cutters with the correct small chain file when you notice slower cutting or the saw starting to chatter.
