Whether you’re a professional logger, arborist or a home do-it-yourselfer, you need to keep your chainsaw in peak condition. Chainsaw maintenance impacts both performance and safety. To serve our many customers who own chainsaws, Xtreme has added an extensive selection of quality chainsaw parts, accessories and supplies.

Here’s what you can now get from Xtreme to keep your chainsaw running

1) Chainsaw chain: It’s important that you have a sharp chain with good cutting edges. A sharp chain that quickly and efficiently cuts through wood makes the work easier and is safer. Over time, many things will dull the chain, everything from normal use to contact with the ground. Unfortunately, a dull chain increases both operator fatigue and the potential for kickback, a truly dangerous combination. Replacing a dull chain is a wise decision.

2) Guide Bars: As the name suggests, guide bars support and direct the chainsaw chain as it moves during operation. Being the accessory that stabilizes the chain, the guide bar must be free of significant wear or damage to provide the guidance needed for controlled and consistent movement of the chain. An imperfect guide bar will compromise both the performance and safety of the chainsaw.

3) Chainsaw Bar and Chain Combos: It’s vital to match the correct chain to the right guide bar. To make this process easier, guide bars and chain combinations are offered to take any guesswork out of the buying decision.

4) Chainsaw files: Before the life of a chainsaw chain expires, it’s possible to sharpen it periodically. To do so, you can use specialty sharpening files made specifically for chainsaw chain sharpening. Files come in round and flat profiles. The round ones sharpen curved cutting edges and the flat ones file down depth gauges.

5) Chainsaw Cylinder Assemblies: For gas-powered chainsaws, cylinder assemblies are the critical engine component where combustion occurs. It’s this assembly where power is produced to operate the saw. While power-production is its main purpose, it is also designed to dissipate heat that naturally occurs. A failing chainsaw cylinder assembly will result in sluggish performance and excessive heat buildup.

6) Chainsaw Parts: Chainsaws have numerous parts that may need replacement over the life of the saw, including sprockets, fuel filters, recoil assemblies, clutch assemblies, gaskets and seals.

7) Bar and Chain Oil: A simple but important step you can take to protect your chainsaw is to routinely apply bar and chain oil. This specialty oil reduces friction and heat that is produced from the metal-on-metal contact between the chain and guide bar. It will extend the service life of the guide bar, chain and sprocket by making the chain’s movement over the guide bar smoother with less drag. It also protects metal surfaces from corrosion.
