The Husqvarna X-Cut S83G is an 18-inch, 68-drive-link low-kickback chain sold in a two-pack. It uses semi-chisel cutters with a guarded drive link, so it tolerates dirty wood and is forgiving for less experienced cutters. The chain comes pre-stretched, and a gold tie strap marks the filing start point. It suits homeowner and farm saws running an 18-inch bar; compared with full-chisel pro chain it cuts slower but needs less care and is easier to sharpen.

The Husqvarna X-CUT S83G is a low-kickback chainsaw chain for 18-inch bars. It has 68 drive links and is sold as a set of two chains.
A guarded drive link reduces kickback and makes the chain easier to handle. The chain is pre-stretched, which minimizes adjustments and the risk of damaging the cutting system.
The semi-chisel cutters are less sensitive to dirt and easy to file. A golden tie strap marks where to start and stop filing.
