If you're ready to replace the chain, theThe first thing to do is to determine the size of the chainsaw bar. If you have a chainsaw Oregon occur, it should be easy.

Do not have a chainsaw Oregon, which simply means the length of the blade? So here are some tips to see in person.
What is the best way to measure the blade of a chainsaw?
To measure the chainsawBlade itself is quite easy to do. Simply enter your meter at the end of the bar against the housing and measure the bar down to the tip of the blade.
Blade and the bar are two terms that are used both to demonstrate the same item. This is the blade that extends from the motor body and brings the chain that looks like the saw for you.

Measuring A Chainsaw Chain
To measure the chain on your chainsaw, there are two things you will need to know ... the number of drive links and the pitch of the chain.
A drive link is simply a tooth on the chain and your chain's length is determined by the number of drive links (or teeth). The pitch of the chain also affects the size of the drive links.
The pitch of the chain is important to know as it must match the pitch of both the drive sprocket as well as the bar nose sprocket. This should be stamped on the drive link but if you need to measure the pitch yourself, take the distance between any 3 rivets of the chain and divide by 2.
As an example, a 1/4" pitch chain might have 52 drive links and be 2.17 feet in length, while a 3/8" pitch with 52 drive links would be 3.18 feet in length. So the pitch affects the drive link size which affects your blade's length.
Still unsure? Just check with your chain saw's manufacturer or anyone who makes chains and they will be able to clear up any confusion you may have.
