FEATURES AND BENEFITS CHAIN

58J, 58L, 59J, AND 59L CHAINS

These new Oregon® .404”-pitch Super Guard® chains have been carefully developed to replace two popular families of chain. Users of our previous 59LG-series and 52-series chains will find it easy to make the switch. 58J, 58L, 59J, and 59L all feature a fast-working new chisel cutter that delivers performance superior to its predecessors in all cutting modes. The new cutter is mounted on our proven unequal-pitch 59 chassis for an unmatched combination of performance and durability. Oregon® 58/59 Super Guard® gives professional timber cutters who use .404”-pitch chains what they want: out- of-the-box sharpness, high performance, resistance to stretch, and consistency from chain to chain. These chains feature ramped depth gauges to reduce kickback energies, and are recommended for cutting clean wood with saws 4.0 cubic inches (65cc) and larger, and with bars 20" (50cm) and longer.

Safety / ANSI: 58J, 58L, 59J, and 59L are yellow-label chains with kickback-reducing features. These chains do not meet the kickback requirements for low-kickback chains.

Recommended Use: Professional use by loggers and forest firefighters who prefer large saws and .404”-pitch chain.
