Product Detail
The Makita 16-inch guide bar is a top-notch commercial tool. With its laminated body, it's built to last. Designed for low profile chains, it supercharges cutting efficiency. The slim shape means less weight and better maneuverability, making your work easier. The small radius sprocket nose cuts down the risk of kickback compared to regular noses. The narrow kerf allows the saw chain to zip through cuts faster than a standard one. This guide bar is a perfect match for Makita's LXT Cordless Chain Saws (XCU02, XCU03, XCU04, XCU07, XCU08, and XCU09, sold separately), Gas Chain Saws (EA3200SRBB, EA3201SRBB, EA3500SRDB, EA3601FRDB, and EA4300FRDB, sold separately), and Corded Chain Saws (UC3551A and UC4051A, sold separately). What's in the box? Just one 16-inch guide bar. Key features include a laminated body for durability, a slim design for easy handling, a small sprocket nose for safety, a narrow kerf for speed, and compatibility with multiple Makita chain saw models. Specifications are as follows: 16-inch length, 3/8-inch low profile pitch, .043-inch gauge, 56 drive links, A041 mount, SNL bar style, 1.26 lbs shipping weight, and UPC code 088381-552899.
Using the Makita 16-inch guide bar is straightforward. First, make sure you have the right chain saw model that's compatible with this guide bar. Install the guide bar on your chain saw following the manufacturer's instructions. When you're ready to cut, hold the chain saw firmly and start the engine. Guide the saw smoothly through the material you're cutting. Remember to wear appropriate safety gear like gloves and goggles. As for maintenance, regularly clean the guide bar to remove sawdust and debris. Check the chain tension and adjust it if necessary. Lubricate the guide bar and chain to keep them running smoothly. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the guide bar or chain as soon as possible to ensure safe and efficient operation.
