Is the chain and chain bar proprietary or generic replaceable parts?

The chain replacement is an Oregon brand chain (original equipment). Not sure about the bar, but it is detailed in the owners manual for bar replacement

Yes, many people have replaced all different forks from different makers. Regards, Thom in Tech

Check the pitch of your chain; the pitch may be printed on the bar. I once bought based on model and bar length and wasted my money.

They aren't proprietary, they are just not common. They are Japanese-Shape 1/4 size fittings. They are available through mail order house like McMaster-Carr.

I dont see that model number in the lookup but i do have a chain to fit it or i can make it up . Count the drive links on the old chain and see if it has any numbers on them. Drive links are the tooth that sticks down in the bar....Brandi

You will need to extend/replace chain and cord which is very easy. a swag kit is what you need from any hardware/amazon store.

according to the Stihl web site they are interchangeable : http://www.stihlusa.com/products/chain-saws/saw-chains/rmc3/

Sorry but I cannot not help you with this. I have not yet needed to replace the chain so I would not know where to get a replacement.

Answer here...rm3 is probably just the newest version of the same chain. As long as the bar length, link count, pitch, and width are the same you are okay.

I have a Jamis with an 11-32 cassette and this chain was original equipment. I am now using it as a replacement chain. SRAM derailleur and cassette, but I don't think that matters.

I am not sure why the official site doesn't show it, but i can personally verify that this is the right chain for the saw. I purchased two additional chains with the saw and swap them out in the woods while cutting all day. They are identical to the original in every way i can see and work just as well.

Motor bar chain a chain tool and a worthless manual. Great saw though. Go to youtube for operating instructions.

Hi,Most new chains are designed with master locks (links). It is easy to install in this way without any tool but you need to remove old chain. You have two ways to do it: 1) Just cut it out; and 2) remove old chain using Topeak Super Bicycle Chain Tool ($14.00)or similar one. You can find out how to use it thru Youtube videos. Best,

I called Makita at 800-462-5482 to order a spare chain (531-290-046, $20?), sprocket (221526-1, $4), sprocket e-clip (961014-3, $1), oil tank cap (1588100, $9) for JIC spares. With shipping, everything was $40. eReplacement parts web site shows many of these items, but not chains or bars. I think many servicing chain saw stores could make up the chain for you, as mentioned before.
