Description
Overview:
The Chain Guide Plate (522 74 29 01) is a genuine Husqvarna steel plate that helps keep the chain accurately guided between the drive sprocket and the guide bar on compatible chainsaws. Built from durable, metallic silver steel, it sits at the bar mount on the clutch side to stabilise chain tracking and support smooth running. By maintaining alignment, it helps limit wear on the bar rails, sprocket and chain drive links, and contributes to clean, efficient cutting. Designed specifically for Husqvarna professional saws, it is a direct-fit replacement for worn or damaged plates and restores correct clearances. Ideal for routine maintenance on Husqvarna 556 and 562XP models, with full compatibility across the wider 562-series variants where listed.
