Compatibility
This combo is built to work with stihl MSA 220 C-B and equivalent models that share the same bar-mount geometry. Confirm your saw’s model and year against the compatibility chart to ensure a proper fit, particularly if your saw has been updated with a different oiler setup.
Installation notes
Remove the clutch cover and take off the spent bar and chain. Wipe down the bar pad and blow out the oiler port. Position the new bar, thread the chain onto the sprocket and around the bar groove making sure the cutters face forward on top. Use the tension screw to take up slack until the tie straps just lift off the bar rail, then secure the cover firmly.
Common questions
Q: Will this 14-inch bar and chain combo fit my Stihl MSA 220 C-B, or do I need to match anything besides the bar length and 3/8 pitch?
Yes, this combo is made to fit the Stihl MSA 220 C-B, so the mount pattern and chain setup are intended for that saw. You should still confirm your current setup is a 14-inch bar with 3/8 pitch before installing, especially if your saw was previously converted to a different bar length.
Q: Does this combo come ready to install on my MSA 220 C-B, and what should I check when putting the new chain on?
It’s designed as a direct replacement bar and chain combo, so installation is straightforward on the MSA 220 C-B. Make sure the chain is facing the correct cutting direction on the top of the bar, seat the drive links fully in the bar groove and sprocket, then tension it so it’s snug but still pulls around by hand.
Q: How often should I maintain this 14-inch guide bar and chain on a Stihl MSA 220 C-B to keep it cutting well?
Check chain tension and chain sharpness before each use, since a loose or dull chain will cut poorly and wear the bar faster. It also helps to keep the bar groove and oiling hole clean, and flip the bar periodically so the rails wear more evenly over time.
