File size & Replacement chain - Makita DCS5000

[dansound]

Morning,

 

I've got a Makita dcs5000 and looking to get a file to sharpen the chain, but not sure what size to get....

Would also like to order up a spare chain at the same time.

 

I've attached a couple of photos of the bar and chain that are on it just now.

 

on the chain there are markings of "099" or could be "660" depending on orientation.

then another marking of "25"

and branded "dolmar"

 

on the bar

"Makita GT"

"3/8 56 1.5/.58"

"443.038.651"

 

any help appreciated!

 

oh...and if anyone has a link to the exact instruction manual...that would be handy!

 

Regards,

Danny

You have a

3/8 pitch

1.5/0.58" gauge

56 drive link.

 

And you should use a 7/32 file

 

443.038.651 is the o/e part number for the bar.

 

 

And your manual -

Hope this helps.

that's great, thanks!

how did you get the file size, from the above data? taht would be 5.5mm in new money, right?

 

and for the Oregon chain, is there somewhere i could have found that information myself?

 

curiosity and appetite for learning

 

Regards,

Danny

Most arb stores will use the 7/32 not the metric equiv.

 

All the info you require is on the bar and chain.

 

And the Dolmar 099 is Oregon 73lpx Managed to delete it while adding the manual.
