Important Notes
- Verify compatibility with your specific Homelite chainsaw model and UT/product number before ordering.
- Homelite documentation identifies DA08563 as a 16" replacement bar-and-chain combination for 33cc and 38cc chainsaws.
- More detailed Homelite literature lists compatible families as Series 3300, 3800, 20 and 23.
- Do not confuse DA08563 with the related DA08562 14" or DA08564 18" bar-and-chain combinations. All three were offered for compatible 33cc/38cc chainsaws but provide different cutting lengths.
- Homelite recommends using only the guide-bar and chain combinations specified for the particular chainsaw model to maintain proper operation and kickback characteristics.
- Proper chain tension and lubrication are essential after installation. Homelite documentation recommends filling the chain-oil tank whenever the chainsaw is fueled and checking the oiling system if the bar and chain become hot or begin smoking.
- DA08563 is a legacy OEM component. At least one current replacement-parts catalog identifies the part as no longer available, although remaining new-old-stock inventory may still exist through other suppliers.
- This listing is for one DA08563 16" Bar & Chain Combo unless otherwise specified. Chainsaw powerheads, sprockets, clutch components, bar nuts, chain tensioners, covers, and bar oil are sold separately.
- Inspect the drive sprocket, chain tensioner, oiler, clutch, and mounting hardware when installing a replacement bar and chain. Replace excessively worn or damaged related components as necessary.
- Match part number DA08563 with your chainsaw's illustrated parts documentation before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
