Compatibility
Engineered to fit Worx WG324 saws and other models sharing the same bar-mount pattern. Always double-check your saw’s model number against the full compatibility list before ordering, since mount studs and oiler holes can vary between production years.
Installation notes
Loosen the bar-mount nuts and slide the old assembly off. Before fitting the new bar, clear packed sawdust from the oil passage and around the drive sprocket. Place the new bar onto the studs, route the chain around the bar groove and sprocket, then adjust tension to the point where you can pull the chain around by hand with light resistance. Snug the nuts in a cross pattern.
Common questions
Q: Will this 5-inch guide bar and chain combo fit my Worx WG324 cordless pruning saw without any modifications?
Yes, this combo is made to fit the Worx WG324 and matches the 5-inch bar length that saw uses. As long as your tool is the WG324 model, the bar and chain should install in the original mounting location with the factory cover and tensioning setup.
Q: Does this combo come with both the 5-inch bar and matching chain, and do I need to sharpen the chain before using it?
Yes, this is a complete bar and chain combo, so you get the 5-inch guide bar and the matching chain designed to run together. The chain is typically ready for service out of the package, but it’s still a good idea to confirm chain tension and add bar-and-chain oil before your first cut.
Q: What’s the best way to install and maintain this bar and chain on a Worx WG324?
When installing it on a WG324, make sure the chain cutting edges face forward on the top side of the bar, then set the tension so the chain sits snugly but can still be pulled by hand with gloves on. For maintenance, keep the chain lightly oiled, clean sawdust from the bar groove and sprocket area, and recheck tension after the first few cuts since a new chain can stretch slightly.
