Additional Information

Part number 20BPX072G replaces 20BPX72CQ, 33SL072G, 33SL72CQ, 753-06265, and G72. This 18-inch chain fits chainsaws that require a .0325-inch pitch, .050-inch gauge, and 72 drive links. It rotates around the cutting bar to slice through branches and limbs efficiently.

If your chainsaw cuts slowly, leaves rough edges, or jams frequently, the chain may be dull, stretched, or damaged. Replacing it with a properly matched chain can restore cutting performance and reduce strain on the motor.

Before installing, disconnect the spark plug and power off the chainsaw. Wear protective gloves to avoid injury from sharp teeth. Use a chainsaw wrench to remove the old chain, align the new one, and adjust tension according to the service manual.
