Husqvarna chainsaw chains, trimmer supplies and mower parts help forestry crews, tree-care professionals and equipment owners keep cutting equipment working. X-CUT chains come sharpened and pre-stretched to minimize adjustments. You can go straight to fitting and tensioning the chain instead of filing a new loop.
Husqvarna Forest & Garden is the outdoor power-equipment and accessories business behind these products. Husqvarna launched its first chainsaw in 1959. Its chainsaw history includes specialist saws developed for arborists working in towns, gardens and other developed areas.
Match the chain to the cutting system
Husqvarna’s bars-and-chains fit-up guide gives you a starting point for matching a replacement to your Husqvarna saw. Check the cutting setup actually fitted to the machine, including its pitch, gauge and required drive-link count. The costly mistake is choosing by bar length alone: Husqvarna identifies mismatched bar, chain or sprocket pitch or gauge as a cause of engine or component damage.
A sharpened chain still needs correct installation. With the power source isolated, follow the saw’s replacement procedure for cutter direction, drive-link seating and tension. Pre-stretching minimizes adjustments and the risk of damage from slack; check tension during use according to the saw manual.
Keep filing straightforward
X-CUT chains have a golden tie strap marking where to start and stop filing. Use it to keep your place as you work around the loop.
Husqvarna associates its round-corner S cutters with easy maintenance and good edge retention. That’s useful when you handle your own sharpening. Match the file and filing guide to the chain’s sharpening instructions.
Sort out trimmer-line trouble
Separate the symptoms before replacing parts. Husqvarna’s trimmer support covers insufficient feeding, excessive feeding, breakage, the head cutting the line and melting line. With the power source isolated, compare the spool winding and line path with the head’s instructions, then inspect the surfaces the line rubs against. If the line has fused together, inspect the spool and head for damage before reloading.
Identify mower parts and engine requirements
For a mower belt replacement, start with the model on the product label. Use that model’s parts diagram to identify the belt and its manual for the replacement procedure and routing. Inspect pulleys and belt guides before fitting the replacement; damaged parts can chew up another belt.
For engine upkeep, use oil meeting the engine manufacturer’s specifications. Husqvarna identifies incorrect oil as a cause of engine failure. Follow the engine’s stated oil capacity and level-check procedure; for equipment requiring mixed fuel, measure the gasoline and oil to the specified ratio below.
Chain specifications
These dimensions help distinguish chain options. Complete loop fit also requires the correct drive-link count for your cutting setup.
| Chain | Pitch | Gauge |
|---|---|---|
| X-PRECISION SP21G | .325-inch mini pixel | .043 inch |
| X-CUT SP33G | .325 inch | .050 inch |
| X-CUT S35G | .325 inch | .058 inch |
| X-CUT C83 | 3/8 inch | .050 inch |
| X-CUT S93G | 3/8-inch mini | .050 inch |
| Mixed-fuel specification | Ratio |
|---|---|
| Gasoline to oil, for equipment requiring mixed fuel | 50:1 |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you replace the chain on a Husqvarna chainsaw?
Isolate the power source before releasing chain tension and removing the cover that holds the bar. Fit the replacement around the drive sprocket and into the bar groove, with the cutters facing the direction shown in your saw’s instructions. Refit the cover and follow the manual’s tensioning and tightening sequence. Bar length alone isn’t enough to choose the replacement; pitch, gauge and drive-link count need to match your cutting setup.
How do you remove a Husqvarna trimmer head?
Check the instructions for the head actually fitted to your trimmer before putting force on it. Isolate the power source, then follow the specified locking and removal procedure; guessing the thread direction can tighten a threaded head further. If you’re only replacing line, check the spool-loading instructions first, since removing the whole head may be unnecessary.
How do you change the oil in a Husqvarna riding lawn mower?
Park on level ground and follow the engine manual’s oil-change procedure, including its instructions for draining and checking the level. Clean around the fill opening before removing the cap so loose dirt doesn’t fall into the engine. Refill with oil meeting the engine manufacturer’s specifications, then check the level as directed. The amount your mower takes comes from its engine instructions; the quantity that drained out isn’t a reliable refill measurement.
How do you replace a Husqvarna drive belt?
Identify the mower from its product label and confirm which belt needs replacement before taking anything apart. Isolate the power source and follow that model’s procedure for releasing belt tension and gaining access. Take a photo of the old belt’s routing before removal, then compare it with the manual so an earlier routing mistake doesn’t get repeated. Check that the replacement sits properly in the pulleys and follows the specified path through the guides before restoring power.
