Also, I don't really like the looks of the depth guides on the Oregon chains when I looked at them compared to the chain I am currently using. Essentially, the chart indicates the chain type is one of the following:įurthermore, none of the Oregon chains I have seen at retailers use naming convention similar to any of these. The saw's manual has a sheet that references a number of chain types depending on the guide bar part number for the saw, which my manual does not identify. I do know that my chain needs the 7/32" file. It has a section on sharpening the "Raker III 38ME50 semi-chisel tooth 3/8" pitch" and indicates that a 7/32" file is used at an angle of 35 degrees. My original manual for the saw does not indicate exactly what chain was used. Problem is that I am not sure what I should get as a replacement. I have filed the chain beyond what I probably should have and I need to replace the chain now. There have been numerous times when I have used it to cut all day long without a hitch. I am outrageously pleased at how well this saw has served me for my occasional use over the past 18 years. I have an old Homlite Super XL AO (Limited Edition - Ol' Blue) that I've had since I purchased new in 1992.
