Description
Overview:
This Genuine Husqvarna Chain Catcher is a safety component for the Husqvarna 254 chainsaw, designed to catch and stop a thrown or derailed chain before it can whip back towards the operator or damage the saw. Made from a durable metal construction for impact resistance, it mounts in the factory position and works with the existing fixings on the saw. By containing the chain if it leaves the guide bar, it helps protect the crankcase, clutch cover and user PPE from unnecessary damage. It is a direct-fit OEM part, referenced as 503 54 57-01 (MPN 503545701), giving reliable compatibility with the 254. Suitable for routine servicing and repairs, it is a practical upgrade for professional users and DIY owners who prioritise safe, dependable operation.

- OEM reference 503 54 57-01 (MPN 503545701) for accurate identification
- Robust metal body designed to absorb impact from a derailed chain

- Direct replacement that uses existing mounting hardware on the saw
- Smooth, snag-free profile to minimise debris build-up
- Suitable for professional forestry, landscaping, and domestic cutting tasks

Typical Applications:
Used during regular maintenance or repairs on the Husqvarna 254 to restore the saw's safety system.
