Bar And Chain Combinations; Saw Chain Filing And File Gauges - Husqvarna 346XP/ 351 Operator's Manual

Recommended original and replacement bar and chain combinations
Following is a list of recommended cutting equipment for the Husqvarna chain saw models 346XP and 353. The combinations of
power head, bar and chain have been tested and found to be in accordance with the kickback and vibration requirements of ANSI
B 175.1–2000.
The guide bar nose radius is determined by either the maximum number of teeth in the nose sprocket or the corresponding
maximum nose radius of a hard nose.
The following list is the chain saw manufacturers recommendations. There may be other combinations available, which will also
achieve kickback reduction.
As we are listing the maximum guide bar nose radius, you may use a guide bar with smaller nose radius than in our list. For guide
bars of the same length, all sprocket-nose guide bars of the same pitch and having the same number of sprocket teeth may be
considered to have equivalent kickback energy. A hard nose bar having the same length and nose radius as a sprocket-nose bar
may be considered to have equivalent or less kickback energy than the sprocket-nose bar.

Bar and chain combinations

Chain saw models Husqvarna 346XP and 353 met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B 175.1-2000 when tested
with the combinations of bars and saw chains listed below. The saw chain Husqvarna H30 is also classified as a low kickback saw
chain since it met the requirements for low kickback saw chain outlined in ANSI B 175.1-2000. We recommend to use only the
listed combinations of bars and chains for chain saw models Husqvarna 346XP and 353. Other chain saw models may not meet
the kickback requirements when equipped with the listed bar and chain combinations.
