Einhell Chains & Chainsaw Accessories
Einhell chainsaw chains and blades keep your saw cutting clean, not burning its way through timber.
When a chain's dull or stretched you'll feel it straight away, slow cuts, smoke, and the saw pulling off line. Stock the right einhell chainsaw chains for your bar, keep an einhell chainsaw blade spare, and run proper einhell chainsaw oil so it doesn't cook the bar and sprocket. Get your pitch, gauge, and drive links right and you're back cutting safely and quickly.
What Are Einhell Chainsaw Chains Used For?
- Cutting firewood and breaking down fallen branches where a sharp einhell chainsaw chain stops the saw bogging down and reduces kickback risk from forcing the cut.
- Pruning and tidy-up work around gardens and site perimeters where a correctly matched einhell chainsaw blade keeps the cut straight and avoids chewing the bar rails.
- Fast cross-cutting through wet or sappy timber where fresh chain and proper einhell chainsaw oil stop heat build-up and keep the chain running free.
- Getting a tired saw back to reliable cutting after you have hit grit, nails, or dirty bark, by swapping to a spare chain rather than wrecking the bar and drive sprocket.
Choosing the Right Einhell Chainsaw Chain
Get this right and the saw cuts like it should; get it wrong and you will either not fit it, or you will chew the bar up fast.
1. Match pitch, gauge, and drive link count
If the pitch or gauge is off by even a bit, do not force it on. Check the markings on your guide bar or your current chain and match them exactly, then count drive links to get the correct length.
2. Chain versus einhell chainsaw blade
If your chain is sharp but the saw still cuts wonky, the issue is often the bar. If the rails are worn or the nose sprocket is rough, replacing the einhell chainsaw blade saves you burning through new chains.
3. Do not skimp on einhell chainsaw oil
If you are seeing a dry chain, blueing on the bar, or fine smoke in the cut, you are running short on oil or the wrong stuff. Use proper einhell chainsaw oil and check the oiler is actually feeding before you blame the chain.
Who Uses Einhell Chainsaw Chains?
- Grounds and maintenance teams who need a spare chain ready so the saw is not out of action halfway through a clear-up job.
- Landscapers and fencing lads cutting posts and rails, where the right pitch and gauge stops the chain wandering and leaving rough, angled cuts.
- Property maintenance and site teams doing snagging and handover tidy-ups, who keep einhell chainsaw oil in the van to protect the bar and chain on quick call-outs.
The Basics: Understanding Chainsaw Chain Sizes
Chains are not one-size-fits-all. The size is what makes it run safely on your bar and sprocket without jumping, binding, or wearing everything out.
1. Pitch (how the chain matches the drive sprocket)
Pitch is the spacing of the chain and it must match the saw's sprocket. If the pitch is wrong, the chain will not run smoothly and you will feel it snatching and wearing fast.
2. Gauge (how the chain sits in the bar groove)
Gauge is the thickness of the drive links that sit in the bar groove. Too thick and it will not fit; too thin and it will rattle about, cut poorly, and damage the bar rails.
3. Drive links (the chain length)
Drive links determine the chain length for your bar. Even if pitch and gauge are right, the wrong drive link count means it will not tension up properly, which is when chains derail and make a mess.
Chainsaw Accessories That Stop Downtime
A couple of basics keep your Einhell saw cutting clean and save you wrecking bars and chains on simple maintenance.
1. Einhell chainsaw oil
Do not run a chain dry and hope for the best. Proper einhell chainsaw oil keeps the bar and chain lubricated under load, so you are not cooking the nose sprocket and stretching a new chain in a day.
2. Spare einhell chainsaw chains
A spare chain is the quickest fix when you hit grit, wire, or dirty timber and the cutters are gone. Swap it over and finish the job, then sharpen the damaged one back at the bench.
3. Replacement einhell chainsaw blade
If the bar groove is worn or the saw keeps cutting in a curve, a new chain will not solve it. Replacing the einhell chainsaw blade gets the chain tracking straight again and stops premature chain wear.

Einhell Chainsaw Chains FAQs
How do I know what chain size my Einhell chainsaw needs?
Check the markings on the guide bar first, as it normally lists pitch, gauge, and the drive link count. If it is worn off, match the numbers from your current chain and count the drive links, because bar length on its own is not enough to order correctly.
How often should I sharpen an Einhell chainsaw chain?
Sharpen it as soon as it stops throwing proper chips and starts making fine dust, or if you have to push the saw to make it cut. On clean timber that might be every few tanks; on dirty bark, reclaimed wood, or after hitting the ground, it can be immediately.
Will any chain that fits the bar work, or does it need to be Einhell?
Brand is less important than the correct pitch, gauge, and drive link count for your bar and sprocket. If those three match, it will run properly; if they do not, you are asking for rough running, thrown chains, and rapid wear.
Do I really need einhell chainsaw oil, or can I use any oil I have?
Use proper chainsaw bar oil, and if you are running Einhell kit, einhell chainsaw oil is the safe bet because it is made to cling to the chain at speed. Thin oils run off, lubrication drops, and you end up with a hot bar, stretched chain, and a saw that cuts slow.
My saw is cutting wonky even with a sharp chain, what is the usual cause?
Most times it is bar wear or uneven cutter lengths from a bad sharpen. Check the bar rails and groove for damage, flip the bar if it is reversible, and make sure the chain is tensioned correctly before you keep forcing it through timber.
