Don’t just trust the dealer to do it right- verify. 346XP
Bought a new Husky 346XP NE a couple months ago from a local dealer.
I was cleaning and sharpening the saw last night , and took the time to look the bar over. The saw was sold to me with a 0.325/.050 NK chain (“standard” for the 346XP), but I just noticed the dealer put a 0.058 regular kerf bar on it. I have run about a gallon of fuel through it using a bad bar/chain combo! The funny thing is, I think it performed very well. I had the understanding that a regular kerf bar would interfere with the cut of a NK (pixel) chain.
I guess I should have looked it over better when I picked it up-it never occurred to me that a dealer would put a wrong bar/chain combo on. That is the kind of thing I would expect that from a big box store.
Since all my chain is 0.050, I may just use the bar for bench sharpening…..I think it may be too late to ask the dealer to swap the bar.
