Important Notes

• Verify part number 596687284 before ordering
• Confirm compatibility with your specific Husqvarna chainsaw model and cutting-system configuration
• Chainsaw guide bar compatibility should not be determined by bar length alone
• Verify that your saw chain and drive system require a 3/8" pitch and .050" gauge
• Confirm the required guide bar mount pattern, chain drive-link count, oiling configuration, and chain tensioning interface for your specific chainsaw
• The exact bar mount pattern, required chain drive-link count, overall physical dimensions, bar thickness, nose configuration, sprocket details, material construction, weight, and compatible chainsaw models are not identified in the supplied product information
• The 24-inch designation refers to the guide bar's nominal cutting-length classification and should not automatically be interpreted as the exact end-to-end physical measurement
• The HT-280-84 designation should be matched to the applicable Husqvarna cutting-system specifications and should not be interpreted as additional dimensional information unless confirmed by manufacturer documentation
• A chain with the correct 3/8" pitch and .050" gauge may still be incompatible if its drive-link count or the guide bar mount configuration is incorrect
• Compare the original guide bar's mounting slot, adjuster holes, oil passages, bar profile, chain groove, nose configuration, pitch, gauge, and nominal length
• Inspect the associated saw chain, drive sprocket, clutch drum, chain tensioner, bar studs, bar nuts, chain catcher, clutch cover, and lubrication system for wear or damage
• Check the guide bar oil passages and groove regularly and keep them free from sawdust, resin, dirt, and other debris
• A worn drive sprocket or improperly tensioned chain can contribute to accelerated wear of a replacement guide bar
• Replace a guide bar that is bent, cracked, severely worn, excessively grooved, damaged at the rails, or unable to properly retain and guide the saw chain
• Follow the applicable chainsaw procedure for chain tensioning and guide bar lubrication
• Never operate the chainsaw with an incorrectly tensioned, damaged, or incompatible saw chain
• Do not drill, grind, weld, bend, machine, enlarge mounting holes, alter the chain groove, or otherwise modify the guide bar to force compatibility
• This listing is for the 24" X-Tough guide bar; do not assume that a saw chain, drive sprocket, bar nuts, tensioner components, clutch cover, or other mounting hardware are included unless specifically stated
• Shut off the chainsaw, allow it to cool, disconnect the spark plug or battery as appropriate, and wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the guide bar and saw chain
• After installation, verify proper bar mounting, chain pitch and gauge compatibility, drive-link fit, chain tension, oiling, sprocket engagement, chain movement, component clearance, and overall cutting-system operation before returning the chainsaw to service
