2PC 12 Inch Chainsaw Chain for Greenworks 40V 20262 20292 Chainsaw

This 2-pack of 12-inch replacement chains is sized to fit several small saws that use the same chain specification, including Greenworks 40V models 20262 and 20292. It is also listed as compatible with Greenworks 2000219 and 20082A, making it a practical spare set for routine cutting, storm cleanup, and general yard work.

Will this chain fit your saw?

To confirm fitment, match all four of these specs on your current chain or guide bar:

• Bar length: 12”
• Pitch: 3/8”
• Gauge: .050”
• Drive links: 45

If all four match, this chain should fit your saw. Bar length alone is not enough, because many 12-inch saws use different chain formats.

According to the original listing, this chain fits these models:

• Greenworks 40V Cordless Chainsaw 20262
• Greenworks 40V Cordless Chainsaw 20292
• Greenworks 2000219
• Greenworks 20082A
• Sun Joe SWJ698E 9A Electric Chain Saw
• Echo CS-271T 12 in. Gas Chainsaw
• Earthwise LCS32412 24V Cordless Electric Chain Saw

If your saw is one of the Greenworks models above, this is the intended replacement size. If your saw is a different Greenworks 12-inch model, verify the pitch, gauge, and drive-link count before ordering. The safest match is always the information printed on the bar or listed in the owner’s manual.

Replacing the chain

Before replacing the chain, remove the battery from cordless saws or unplug corded saws. For gas saws, make sure the engine is off and cool.

1. Remove power and wear gloves. Chains are sharp even when dull.
2. Loosen the side cover and back off the chain tension so the old chain can be lifted off the bar and drive sprocket.
3. Clean the bar groove, oil holes, and side cover area before installing the new chain.
4. Fit the new chain around the drive sprocket and onto the bar, making sure the cutting teeth face the correct direction along the top of the bar.
5. Reinstall the side cover and adjust chain tension until the chain sits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled by hand around the bar with a gloved hand.
6. Tighten the cover securely, then recheck tension after a short test run. New chains often stretch slightly during initial use.

A chain that is too loose can derail. A chain that is too tight can wear the bar, sprocket, and motor more quickly.

Keeping it sharp

A sharp chain cuts faster, puts less strain on the saw, and is safer to use than a dull one.

• Avoid hitting soil, rocks, or fencing. Even brief contact can dull cutters quickly.
• Keep chain oil topped up if your saw uses automatic bar-and-chain lubrication. Proper lubrication reduces heat and premature wear.
• Touch up the chain early instead of waiting until it is very dull. If the saw starts making fine dust instead of chips, pulling to one side, or requiring extra pressure, it is time to sharpen or replace the chain.

Also keep an eye on chain tension during the first few cuts with a fresh chain. Minor stretch is normal.

FAQ

Does this chain fit both Greenworks 20262 and 20292?

Yes. The original listing specifically identifies this 12-inch chain as a replacement for Greenworks 40V Cordless Chainsaw models 20262 and 20292, using a 3/8” pitch, .050” gauge, and 45 drive links.

Can I use this chain on any 12-inch chainsaw?

No. A 12-inch bar does not guarantee fit. Your saw must use the same chain specification: 3/8” pitch, .050” gauge, and 45 drive links. The listing also names compatible replacement use for Greenworks 2000219, 20082A, Sun Joe SWJ698E, Echo CS-271T 12 in., and Earthwise LCS32412.

Why is drive-link count important?

Drive-link count determines the chain’s effective length around the bar and sprocket. Even if pitch, gauge, and bar length are correct, a chain with the wrong number of drive links will not tension or track properly. For this product, the correct count is 45 drive links.
