Shindaiwa s20bpx72cq 18 Inch Reduced Kickback Chain

Product Description

The SHINDAIWA s20bpx72cq is an 18-inch reduced kickback saw chain designed for use on compatible gas and electric chainsaws. Reduced kickback chain designs incorporate safety-oriented drive link geometry that limits the reactive force generated during pinching or contact at the bar nose, lowering the risk of sudden bar rotation. This chain is a Shindaiwa parts and accessories item intended for installation by outdoor power equipment technicians or knowledgeable operators maintaining Shindaiwa-branded cutting equipment.

This chain is suited for residential and light commercial cutting applications including tree trimming, limbing, and general firewood cutting. The 18-inch bar length fits a common mid-size chainsaw class used widely by landscape maintenance crews and property owners with equipment maintenance experience. Install on an appropriately matched guide bar with the correct pitch and gauge for proper fit and safe operation.

Key Features

• 18-inch cutting length accommodates a common mid-size chainsaw guide bar
• Reduced kickback design meets safety-oriented chain geometry standards

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Chain installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified outdoor power equipment technician familiar with chainsaw service procedures. Before servicing, shut off the engine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire. Use the correct bar wrench and scrench for your model, and confirm proper chain tension and bar clamping torque according to the equipment service manual before returning the saw to service.
