Oregon 90PX052X3 14" chainsaw chain 52 links 📷
Description:
This replacement saw chain is a 3-pack of narrow kerf chains designed for 14 inch (35 cm) guide bars, offering homeowners and gardeners a lower-vibration cutting option that helps complete trimming and pruning tasks more efficiently. If you need a reliable chainsaw chain for 14 inch bar use, this set aims to balance smoother cutting with reduced kickback and straightforward fitment on common domestic models.
Key Points
The chains include a low-kickback profile that reduces the chance of sudden upward movement during a bind, which is helpful when working around branches or in tighter spaces. They are described by the manufacturer as narrow kerf which requires less power from the saw, so battery or lower-powered petrol engines may run cooler and finish jobs faster. The integrated Lubri-Tec automatic lubrication system is intended to improve oil distribution along the chain and extend service life, meaning fewer interruptions to re-lubricate during use. ⚙️🌲
These chains are suitable for a range of garden chainsaw brands and specific models such as Bosch AKE35-19S, Kärcher CS330BP, Husqvarna 436Li and 536Li, and Makita DUC353 and DUC3541 among others. Consider that the narrow kerf requires a matching guide bar designed for narrow-cut chains, and always check the bar specifications before fitting.

Usage Recommendations
Before fitting, ensure the guide bar is rated for a 3/8" LP pitch and a .043" gauge to maintain safe operation and chain retention. Tension the chain to the manufacturer’s specification for each saw and re-check after a few cuts as new chains often settle. When using cordless saws such as the Husqvarna 436Li, monitor battery temperature and runtime because the narrow kerf design is more efficient but cutting conditions can still affect performance. 🔧
For maintenance, sharpen with the correct round file for the 3/8" LP cutters and maintain proper lubrication with a quality chain oil to take full advantage of the Lubri-Tec distribution. Note that while the low-kickback design reduces reactive forces according to the manufacturer, it may not fully eliminate kickback in all situations and safe cutting practices remain essential. 🪚.
