Chain for NAC NAX GUIDE 14" (35 cm) — 3/8" pitch, 1.3 mm gauge

Replacement guide chain compatible with NAC NAX GUIDE 14" (35 cm) chainsaw bars. This chain features a 3/8" pitch and a 1.3 mm gauge, engineered to fit specified guide bars and models designed for that pitch and thickness. It is intended for routine maintenance, chain replacement and re-tensioning, offering the correct dimensions for safe and effective cutting in general woodcutting, pruning and light forestry tasks.

Advantages

The chain’s 3/8" pitch and 1.3 mm gauge provide a balance between cutting efficiency and reduced vibration for use on light to medium-duty petrol and electric chainsaws. As a direct replacement part for compatible guide bars, it helps restore cutting performance and maintain correct chain alignment. The standardized pitch and gauge support straightforward mounting and tensioning when following the saw and bar manufacturer’s maintenance procedures.

Suitable for

• General woodcutting and limbing
• Pruning and garden maintenance
• Light forestry and firewood preparation
• Replacement for compatible 14" (35 cm) guide bars designed for 3/8" pitch and 1.3 mm gauge

When it may not be suitable

This chain is not suitable for heavy-duty professional logging or applications that require wider gauges or larger pitches; using it beyond its intended workload can accelerate wear and increase the risk of damage. It must not be fitted to bars or saws that specify a different pitch or gauge, as incorrect matching can cause poor performance and safety hazards.

Key specifications

• Guide bar length compatibility: 14" (35 cm)
• Chain pitch: 3/8"
• Chain gauge (thickness): 1.3 mm
• Intended use: general woodcutting, pruning, light forestry

How to use

Before fitting, ensure the chainsaw is switched off and cooled, and the spark plug is disconnected on petrol models or the battery removed on cordless units. Match the chain pitch and gauge to the guide bar specifications, then place the chain around the bar and sprocket, aligning drive links with the bar groove. Adjust chain tension according to the manufacturer’s instructions so the chain moves freely by hand but does not sag from the bar. After installation, check lubrication flow, trim any burrs, and perform a short test cut with appropriate protective equipment to confirm correct fit and cutting behavior.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your guide bar and chainsaw require a 3/8" pitch and 1.3 mm gauge chain.
• Confirm the guide bar length is 14" (35 cm) or that the bar supports this chain length.
• Ensure chain compatibility with your saw’s sprocket design and drive link configuration.
• Consider tooth type and sharpening frequency based on intended tasks.

Usage recommendations

Use proper chain oil and maintain recommended chain tension; sharpen cutters regularly and replace the chain when cutters or drive links show excessive wear. Always follow the chainsaw and bar manufacturer's safety and maintenance instructions to preserve cutting performance and reduce the risk of kickback or other hazards.
