Trying to ID a chain.

[John from Cle Elum]

This came off a older electric chainsaw. The logo is two ovals that are both intersected with another oval. The drive links are stamped with a either a stamped IA or a 1A. It is a very lightweight chain. I wanted to either replace it or enough information to resharpen it.
Thanks for any help

You'll need to measure pitch and gauge. Thus:

Then, count the drive links.

You have a so-called "safety" or "reduced kick-back" chain. And, semi-chisel cutters.

Armed with pitch, gauge, drive links, safety, semi-chisel...you have all the intel you need to either buy a new chain or buy the correct file to sharpen what you got. There is plenty of life left in that chain.

Or...take the chain to a saw shop and they will sell you the correct chain or file.

The information you need for the chain is stamped into the side of the bar close to the saw.
It looks like 3/8lp, sharpen it with a 5/32 file and set the depth gauges to .025-.030 tho.

Definitely looks like 3/8” pitch LP chain, need to measure thickness of the drivers. Could be .043 or .050 thick.

I can measure a chain. What has me confused is that the chain appears to be very narrow kerf. I would also like to know the who made it so I can order one very similar narrow kert and/or get the right file and angles to resharpen it. I think it was used on a low power electric pole saw .

Trilink, good name, matches the logo. I will see if I can find a replacement. It has narrow kerf cutters.

Thanks for the help.

I see it on eBay all the time, have never seen it in the repair shops or dealers yet. It is cheap chain no one wants to own up to using.
