Whats the difference Bosch 1.1 mm chain for AKE 40 / AKE 40-17S / AKE 40-18S / AKE 40-19S Chainsaws

no it's gonna be two inches longer . you might be able to change chain and bar between saws ? i never done that might work , but would be down on power with larger bar 4 sure , but still would cut wood , just dont enter it in any races

Here is a link to the manual. It has a section on tightening the chain:

The only time I saw this was when the saw was run with the chain too loose. The chain should be snug al the way around the bar. If it is run loose for too long the chain will develop burs on the driver links. Now the driver link will not fit in the groove on the bar so the chain is tossed off. Replace with a new chain

as long as the pitch of the chain is the same as the nose wheel of the bar, then the gauge does not matter as you are fitting a bar and chain with 1.3 gauge.

I do not mean this as an insult but since I have seen it before I have to ask if you put the chain on backwards?

Other then that I know that if you hit dirt, even with a new chain, it will dull it quicker then anything else.

Try and Look at eReplacementParts.com and the parts diagrams.

goto homedepot, lowes, back by lawn garden they have charts to cross reference the part you need

Chain has dulled. Needs sharpening.

Hitting one little imbedded rock in the wood and the chain can be dulled to the point it only burns the wood.

Replace the chain or have it sharpened.

I found your saw here:
