We recommend that you count the number of drive links in your old chain to determine your chain length. The "drive links" are the parts of the chain which sit down inside the guide bar groove.
The common sizes for the model listed are as follows -
14" - 35cm - .325 (1.3mm) = 56 Drive Links - Light04
16" - 40cm - .325 (1.3mm) = 62 Drive Links - Light04
14" - 35cm - 3/8P (1.3mm) = 50 Drive Links
16" - 40cm - 3/8P (1.3mm) = 55 Drive Links
Counting the Drive Links in your old chain and comparing to these sizes ensures that you order the correct chain.
