Description
Overview:
This Chain Catcher is a genuine Husqvarna safety component for petrol chainsaws, designed to arrest and contain the chain if it derails or breaks. Made from a robust metal alloy, it mounts at the lower front of the clutch cover area to shield the crankcase and help protect the user by stopping a loose chain from whipping back. It is engineered for an accurate fit on popular Husqvarna models, including the 51 and 55 Rancher, ensuring dependable performance during everyday cutting tasks. The durable construction resists wear from chain contact, while the precise geometry maintains clearance around the guide bar and drive sprocket. A straightforward replacement during routine maintenance, it helps keep your saw working safely and reduces avoidable damage to surrounding components.
Key Features:
- Genuine Husqvarna part for correct fit and reliable operation
- Tough metal alloy body for long service life under impact and abrasion
- Helps prevent chain whip by catching a thrown or derailed chain
- Protects the crankcase, clutch cover, and adjacent parts from chain strike
- Consistent sizing for the specified models; no modification required
- Simple to install using the original mounting point on the saw body
- Stable in temperature changes and everyday outdoor use

Typical Applications:
Replacement of a worn, bent, missing, or damaged chain catcher during chainsaw servicing. Suited to general tree work, grounds maintenance, firewood cutting, fencing, and estate or forestry tasks where chain security is essential. Helps maintain safe operation during frequent starts, aggressive cuts, and when working in dirty timber that increases derailment risk.
Also known as:
Often referred to as a chain stopper, safety catch, or chain guard. These terms describe the same protective function: intercepting the chain if it leaves the guide bar to reduce injury risk and prevent damage to the saw's body.
