Get the larger diameter cord. Handles are the same...at least on the saws I have.

4.5mm or larger? And which length?

They come in preset lengths off the roll. They have a plug which fits into the top of the handle and a ferrule which fits snugly into the bottom of the elastomer that stretches to provide the cushion.

Yep

 

[Woodwackr]

4.5mm ok size?

Well, that would be the larger size of the 2 choices, so, yes.

I run a repurposed elastostart handle on my Husky 562, using a big stopper knot. It’s gone though a couple big jobs so far and hasn’t torn through the flexible rubber. But given the choice, I would have done it your way.

This is the part number for the handle and rope, it’s for the ms380 upto the 880

It’s just over £25 from Ls engineers. But you may get it cheaper if you look around
