How to confirm the fit
- Read your bar. The pitch and gauge are stamped on the guide bar near the saw body — e.g.
3/8" LP .050". - Count drive links. Lay the old chain flat and count the teeth that ride inside the bar groove. This number must match exactly; length in inches is not enough.
- Match all three. Pitch, gauge and drive-link count all have to agree with a row in the table above. Two of three is not a fit.

FAQ
What size chain does a Echo CS-400 take?
The Echo CS-400 runs a 3/8" Low Profile™ pitch, .043" / .050" gauge chain. Available bar lengths: 12", 13", 14", 15", 16", 18". Match the drive-link count to your bar (see the table above).
How do I know which gauge my CS-400 chain is?
Check the number stamped on your guide bar near the tail, or measure the drive-link thickness with calipers. Common gauges for the CS-400 are .043" / .050", .050".
Can I put a longer bar on my Echo CS-400?
Oregon lists 12", 13", 14", 15", 16", 18" bars for the CS-400. Stay within this range — a longer bar than the engine is rated for cuts slowly and accelerates wear.
