Measuring the chain length on a chainsaw is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and safety. The chain length is typically determined by the size of the chainsaw’s guide bar, which is the metal bar that supports and guides the chain.
There are several methods to measure the chain length on a chainsaw. One common method involves counting the number of drive links in the chain. Drive links are the links that engage with the sprocket on the chainsaw’s engine and are typically larger than the other links in the chain. To count the drive links, simply lay the chain out on a flat surface and count the number of links from one end to the other.
