FEATURES AND BENEFITS
CHAIN
58J, 58L, 59J, AND 59L CHAINS
These new Oregon® .404”-pitch Super Guard® chains have been carefully developed to replace two
popular families of chain. Users of our previous 59LG-series and 52-series chains will find it easy to
make the switch. 58J, 58L, 59J, and 59L all feature a fast-working new chisel cutter that delivers
performance superior to its predecessors in all cutting modes. The new cutter is mounted on our
proven unequal-pitch 59 chassis for an unmatched combination of performance and durability. Oregon®
58/59 Super Guard® gives professional timber cutters who use .404”-pitch chains what they want: out-
of-the-box sharpness, high performance, resistance to stretch, and consistency from chain to chain.
These chains feature ramped depth gauges to reduce kickback energies, and are recommended for
cutting clean wood with saws 4.0 cubic inches (65cc) and larger, and with bars 20" (50cm) and longer.
Safety/ANSI: 58J, 58L, 59J, and 59L are yellow-label chains with kickback-reducing
features. These chains do not meet the kickback requirements for low-kickback chains.
Recommended Use: Professional use by loggers and forest firefighters who prefer
large saws and .404”-pitch chain.

Oregon .404”-pitch Super Guard chains (58J, 58L, 59J,
and 59L) may be capable of kickback that could result in
Failure to follow filing instructions can
increase the level of kickback which
can result in severe injury to the saw operator or bystanders.
serious injury to the saw operator or bystanders.
Although these chains have features designed to reduce kickback energy, they
are NOT low-kickback chains. Do not use Oregon 58J, 58L, 59J, or 59L unless
you have experience and specialized training for dealing with kickback. Saw chain
with lower kickback potential is available.
Do not exceed the depth-gauge setting shown above
