What is it?

The Terminator Carbide Chain is a high-performance, tungsten carbide-tipped chainsaw chain designed for compatible SHARK ventilation saws. Engineered for durability and cutting efficiency, it is intended for demanding applications encountered by fire departments, rescue teams, and demolition professionals.

The CB66DL model is specifically configured for a 20-inch SHARK guide bar and features 66 drive links.

How is it used?

The chain is mounted on a compatible 20-inch SHARK guide bar and used for roof ventilation, forcible entry, rescue, and demolition applications. Its carbide-tipped cutters are designed for demanding cutting environments where conventional chains may require more frequent sharpening.

The chain must be correctly installed, tensioned, and lubricated before operation. Always operate the saw according to the saw manufacturer’s instructions and applicable safety procedures.

Who uses it?

• Firefighters performing roof ventilation and rescue operations
• Emergency response teams conducting rapid-entry operations
• Urban search and rescue teams
• Demolition professionals cutting mixed materials
• Industrial emergency response teams
• Fire and rescue training academies

Maintenance Information

• Inspect the chain before and after use for worn, loose, damaged, or missing components.
• Check carbide tips for visible damage following demanding cutting operations.
• Maintain proper chain tension according to the saw manufacturer’s instructions.
• Lubricate the chain properly using the saw’s oiling system.
• Clean accumulated debris from the chain, guide bar, and drive components after use.
• Use equipment and procedures appropriate for servicing carbide-tipped chains.
• Replace the chain when cutters, links, rivets, or carbide tips are damaged or excessively worn.
• Recheck chain tension after initial operation because a newly installed chain may settle during use.

Installation Instructions

Safety First

• Shut off the saw and allow the engine and cutting components to cool completely.
• Disconnect the spark plug wire or otherwise disable the saw according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Wear cut-resistant gloves and appropriate eye protection.
• Place the saw on a stable work surface.
• Follow the saw owner’s manual for chain removal, installation, and adjustment.

Remove the Existing Components

• Release the chain brake if required by the manufacturer’s instructions before removing the clutch cover.
• Loosen and remove the bar nuts using the appropriate combination spanner or tool.
• Remove the clutch cover and any manufacturer-specified spacers or rings.
• Carefully remove the existing chain and guide bar.

Position the Bar

• Fit the 20-inch SHARK guide bar over the mounting bolts.
• Slide the guide bar toward the drive sprocket to provide sufficient slack for installing the chain.

Install the Chain

• Place the Terminator Carbide Chain around the drive sprocket.
• Position the chain around the guide bar.
• Verify that the cutter teeth face forward along the top edge of the guide bar.
• Align the drive links correctly within the guide-bar groove.
• Confirm that the chain is properly seated around the entire bar and sprocket.

Attach the Clutch Cover

• Align the chain-adjuster pin with the corresponding hole in the guide bar.
• Reinstall the clutch cover.
• Hand-tighten the bar nuts while leaving enough movement for chain adjustment.

Tension the Chain

• Lift the guide-bar tip slightly.
• Turn the tensioning screw according to the owner’s manual until the chain fits snugly against the bar.
• Confirm that the drive links remain seated in the guide-bar groove.
• Verify that the chain can be moved around the bar by hand while wearing protective gloves.
• Do not overtighten the chain because improper tension can cause premature wear or damage.

Final Checks

• Continue supporting the guide-bar tip while securely tightening the bar nuts.
• Confirm that the chain moves smoothly around the guide bar.
• Check that all drive links remain properly seated in the bar groove.
• Verify chain tension before operating the saw.
• Recheck tension after initial use because the chain may settle during operation.

*Always refer to the saw owner’s manual for complete installation, tensioning, lubrication, operating, and safety instructions.
