Need to put a new chain on a Husqvara 235 14 inch chain saw?

files are a specific size for a specific cutter... You need the right file for the chain... As for the "file kit" I have no idea. Wherever you buy your chain from will let you know exactly the file size. If you were to mention the chain specs here we could help as well... But your answer would be yes, the chain has no name, a file as long its the right size for the cutter can be used on any brand of saw... Oregon Outdoor Products makes 90% of the chain and bars used in the industry today

It is possible they gave you the wrong chain for the saw. I would take check the manufacture to see which chain you need then check the numbers on your chain. Other thing it could be is the washer on the clutch may be missing. Either way, it is a new saw, I would take it back.

they have a socket set call turbo sockets it locks onto striped nuts

There will be a chain brake, grab the brake handle and pull it firmly back to the top handle, this should didd engage the brake, if the chain has de railed the drive lonks will have burs on them which will make it tight in the bar, you need to file all these burs off.

Do you mean pole saw? DISCONNECT PLUG If so you change it like you would a chain saw, loosen the bolt(s) at the base of the bar on the engine and put a screwdriver in the slotted area near where you loosened the two bolts and the chain will loosen and come off. To put new chain on, reverse but leave 1/8 - 1/4 inch play in chain. Pull on chain at the middle of the bar to set chain tension. Good Luck...

If it's a cut off saw there should be a motor lock on your motor, UNPLUG UNIT. Depress the motor lock lightly and rotate cut off wheel by hand until motor lock falls into place hold motor lock and loosen bolt in the center of the wheel you are trying to remove. Reverse instructions to mount new wheel. Good Luck...

Hi there,
The first thing you need to do is clean up the saw with air,be careful around the bar oilier because they get plugged up if your not careful.
Look for two studs on the right side of the saw, there should be nuts holding the bar down.They may be under a cover.Loosen them up but don't take them off.Look for an adjustment screw on the back of the bar and back it off about 1/2 an inch.Those bar nuts should be just loose enough so the bar can be slid back 1/2 an inch.Look at the chain on the bottom of the bar the sharp part of the teeth should be pointed back at the motor.Take the old chain off with gloves.The saw should be on its side with a block holding the tip of the bar up level.Put the new chain on the drive sprocket first then have someone hold the saw while you put the chain around the nose of the bar.There is a groove in the bar that guides the chain as it moves around the bar.At this point turn the saw upright and grab the nose and pull until the chain slips into place and tighten the adjusting screw while moving the bar up and down so it will be straight when you get ready to tighten the bar.The chain should have 1/8 of slack in the chain when pulled away from the bar.Pull the chain by hand with a stick(the way it moves when you cut) to see if it binds any where on the saw or bar. You can do the whole operation with the saw in an upright position if you want.I hope this is clear enough for you.Thank You for choosing FixYa.com.

There will be a 16" option, however things to remember, you will have a drop in power, so you need to keep the chain sharp, the oiling system will probably on its limit.

Yes they sell links for that at the saw shop. You file the head off two rivets in the chain to remove however many links you need then install the connecting link. If you're not sure how many to remove, take out one at a time putting the connecting link in without bradding the rivets. Put it back on the saw and see if its still too long. When the length is right you brad the end of the rivets that come with the new link.

0.020" according to this:

If a new chain ::
make and model is important here, as are guide bar length
a particular chainsaw, may be available with 12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26 inch guide bar,
likewise different saws (even from different makers) use the same size of chain
a chain for this saw may be sold in a variety of lengths or
may be sold in the longest length only and require links removed to suit smaller bars.
back to the store, with the saw, for confirmation

If an old chain::
stretched way beyond safety, replace
