No, you have to match the drive sprocket, and the bar tip sprocket with the chain ‘eyes’ or ‘hooks’ on the underside of the chain. Not all chains are the same.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

Thanks guys. I have a echo saw. Been using a Oregon bar and chain that came together. So far so good. Maybe I just got lucky. Taking 3 chains for sharpening today. I'll look the chains over close. Thanks again!!

you can use any Manufacturer chain and bar , as long as they are made FOR the eCHO saw..... as long as it says " for ECHO XXX" it dont matter who made it.. THey all make different pitch / size/ gauge for various applications.
