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 Husqvarna 536 LIXP take?
The Husqvarna 536 LIXP runs a 1/4" or 3/8" Low Profile™ pitch, .043" / .050" gauge chain. Available bar lengths: 10", 12", 14", 16". Match the drive-link count to your bar (see the table above).
How do I know which gauge my 536 LIXP 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 536 LIXP are .043" / .050", .043", .050".
Can I put a longer bar on my Husqvarna 536 LIXP?
Oregon lists 10", 12", 14", 16" bars for the 536 LIXP. Stay within this range — a longer bar than the engine is rated for cuts slowly and accelerates wear.
