Husqvarna Pole Saw Chain, 3/8 x .050, 40 DL

This Husqvarna pole saw chain is a 3/8 in low-profile, .050 in gauge chain with 40 drive links, listed for Husqvarna battery-powered pole saws. It matches the 10 in pole saw bar, so a fresh chain gets your pole saw cutting fast and straight again.

Matching the chain to your pole saw

A chain has to match the bar and sprocket in three ways: pitch, gauge, and drive link count. This chain is 3/8 in low-profile, .050 in gauge, with 40 drive links, which pairs with Husqvarna's 10 in battery pole saw bar.

Keep a spare chain on the truck so a dull or damaged chain does not stop the job. Browse other chainsaw chains for different saws.

Battery pole saws run a narrow kerf chain to get the most cutting out of each charge. That makes sharpness especially important: a dull chain drains the battery faster and leaves rough cuts on the limbs you are pruning.

Sharpening and replacement

Sharpen with the file size listed for this chain and keep the depth gauges set correctly. A pole saw chain dulls fast if it touches dirt or a fence wire, so file it as soon as cutting slows down.

Replace the chain when the cutters are filed back to the wear marks, links are cracked, or the chain will not tension properly. Remove the battery before handling the chain. Wear chainsaw protection, eye and hearing protection, and follow the operator's manual and ANSI Z133 when running or servicing a saw.
