- The Husqvarna 120i brushless chainsaw chain replacement problem has been solved! Using the correct chain is really important for safety reasons but it wasn't easy to find so I ended up learning a lot about how to buy the right chain for any chainsaw. Great information to know for the future.
Note that this is not a 'How To video' but instead a 'How I do it' video. I strongly urge you to do your own research on buying and replacing your Husqvarna 120i chainsaw blade.

Love my little brushless chainsaw! So easy to change the chain :-) Kathie
Thanks so much for helping me in confirming that I have the correct chain for this chainsaw! I was having a heck of a time getting tension on the chain; thanks to your video, I quickly realized that the main nut cant' be too tight before tensioning, then tightened. Thanks a Million!
Glad we were able to help!
Don’t you love it when the manufacturers website is even more confusing lol. It’s always a good idea to do the research and be safe.
You would think they would want to be thorough for their customers! Oh well. Thanks for watching.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video! I've had mine for 2 years, and love it, but Ive had NO confidence to change my chain. Because of your thorough demonstration of changing the 120i, now I can do it! Getting my tension correct has been a bear. And your guidance on finding the right chain is Great. ... Now all I have to do is learn how to sharpen them! Hahaha. I've saved your video to my phone, for when I'm in the woods, I'll have it. Thanks! Leslie from East Tennessee USA
I really appreciate that! And I’ve never sharpened one either yet, but it’s definitely on my list! Have a great day and thank you so much for your comment ❤️Kathie - oh and make sure to remove the battery! I think it was my second time doing it because video didn’t come out first time and I was rushing and forgot to remove the battery
Thanks for sharing. I would like to suggest to the new users that we ALWAYS take off the battery, ALWAYS use gloves when dealing with the saw or the chain and preferably to clean the bar and the cup before putting it back.
Really enjoyed the ending! Have a wonderful day!
Stay safe!
LOL. Thanks. You stay safe too!
Thanks for the video, you taught me how to remove the cover!
Lol. 👍thanks for watching and commenting!
Grubs are a great source of protein! I'm a huge fan of Husqvarna. My aunt and uncle bought me this saw for Christmas last year. I have the older 340 and 350 gas powered saws, which I love. To add to your information, I'm finding it confusing because according to the owners manual there's two models, Husqvarna considers, the H37 and H38. The only difference is the bar gauge. The H37 has a .050 gauge and the H38 has a .043 gauge. Luckily, I have my favorite Husqvarna dealer ten miles down the road from my camp. CJ Motorsports in Boonville, NY. They can gauge my stock bar. I used the saw for the first time to limb and buck some small to medium diameter balsam fir a couple weeks back for spring cleaning. I can't find any information on the bar, which is funny because they always have the gauge stamped on the bar. Whatever the difference, it still takes a 3/8 pinch chain, you're referring to. My 120i was manufactured in 2019, I few years newer than yours. I may have a .043 gauge bar? I'll take the saw the next time I go to the my dealer. I love the savE economy feature. Lowers the chain speed without compensating power! I was bucking 10 inch diameter logs with ease. I fell a 60 foot fir, limbed and bucked the logs, all on one charge with the third light flashing. I'm amazed, its such a nice battery powered saw.
It’s my absolute favorite saw too! And your information may be exactly why figuring out which chain was so problematic! Thanks so much for sharing 👍
Wow! I can’t get away with giving my wife gifts that I might like to have. All kidding aside, thanks for the video. My wife wants one to prune her crepe myrtles and I was wondering if this would be a fit for her.
It’s perfect for that! I hope she likes it.
They're cheap enough to buy a his and hers...
Thanks, nice clear instructions for this great saw
Appreciate that very much!
Good day ! Yes it is a great electric chainsaw for sure !!! Great funny moment at the end !!! Cheers !!!
Lol. Thanks 😊
I think brushless is the way to go, love the ending.
Thanks so much!
The ending😂 what was that little creature? Lol
LOL. I looked it up and it is a giant beetle that find crawling around in the grass here in the summer. We had just never thought about how they begin their life!
Great info thanks. You might want to remove the battery before servicing the chain just to be safe.
I agree! That was my second ‘take’ because the first time (where I did take it out) didn’t record and I foolishly rushed through it because I was a little ticked off! Thanks for noticing and sharing that input though. Very much appreciated!!
Yeah, best bet in this situation is to hit the hardware store! Lol. If they screw it up and give you the wrong chain, they'll replace it at no cost to you. Good video, Kathie.
The old fashioned hardware stores are the best. These new ones, well, lets just say it's a lot harder to find someone that actually knows what they are talking about.
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid, agreed, especially _in this day and age_ where suddenly we have experts popping up in all sorts of fields to proclaim their knowledge... lol. Been writing music all weekend and shooting pics. Peace.
great information
Glad you liked it :-)
Great video ...
Thanks!
Did you try it with larger BLi200 battery? :-)
No but we were looking to buy another battery. Will have to check it out! Thanks 👍
Link or model number for the chain you purchased?
I it’s a stihl chain. I actually state the size at 7 minutes and 47 seconds in. It’s 3/8 inch pitch, low profile mini, .050 guage, 52 drive links. There’s no part number. We just brought the old chain into the stihl dealer and they helped get the right one.
Any Walmart, Home Depot or Lowe’s????
For what?
My 120i battery operated chainsaw. The side cover will not screw off. Watched every video I could watch. The chain came off and the lift dial I’ve turned anti clockwise for half an hour still won’t come off. What am I doing wrong
Sounds like it’s really stuck. See if you can find a husqvarna repair shop around. Good luck!
Have you been sharpening the old chain?
Not yet, but on the list
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid might consider that, before buying a new chain.
Here is the chainsaw and this is the chain and this piece is called the handle...
