This replacement chain set is made for the SKIL CS4562B-10 chainsaw with a 12-inch bar. The package includes 2 pcs of 12-inch chain, giving you a spare on hand for routine maintenance, storm cleanup, or when your current chain is too dull or damaged to sharpen further.
Will this chain fit your saw?

This listing is specifically for a 12-inch chainsaw chain replacement for SKIL CS4562B-10 Chainsaw. If you own that exact model and your saw is still set up with its original 12-inch bar, this is the intended fitment.
Before ordering, it is still smart to confirm the chain details on your current setup. Chainsaw chains are matched by four key specs:
- Saw model: SKIL CS4562B-10
- Bar length: 12”
- Pitch
- Gauge
- Drive-link count
For the most accurate confirmation, check the markings stamped on the guide bar or compare the information printed in your chainsaw’s owner’s manual. The saw model and bar length must match, but chain fit also depends on the correct pitch, gauge, and drive-link count. If those markings on your current bar or chain do not match your setup, use the bar’s specs as the final reference.
Compatible fitment stated in this listing:
- SKIL CS4562B-10
- 12-inch bar
- Package Includes: 2Pcs 12-Inch Chain
If your saw is a different SKIL model, or if your CS4562B-10 has been fitted with a different bar, you should verify all chain dimensions before ordering.
Replacing the chain

Replacing a chainsaw chain is straightforward, but safety comes first. Follow these basic steps:
- Power the saw off completely. For extra safety, make sure the saw cannot start accidentally before you begin any service.
- Loosen the side cover. Remove or loosen the bar cover so the guide bar and old chain can be taken off.
- Remove the old chain. Lift the chain off the drive sprocket and slide it out of the bar groove. Check the bar groove and sprocket area for packed sawdust or debris.
- Install the new 12-inch chain. Place the chain around the drive sprocket and along the guide bar, making sure the cutting teeth face the correct direction on the top side of the bar.
- Set chain tension. Reinstall the side cover and adjust the tension so the chain sits snugly in the bar groove but can still be pulled around by hand.
- Recheck before use. After tightening everything, rotate the chain by hand and confirm smooth movement. Recheck tension again after the first few cuts, since a new chain can settle in quickly.
If you are unsure about the correct chain direction or tension, consult the SKIL CS4562B-10 owner’s manual before running the saw.
Keeping it sharp

A sharp chain cuts faster, puts less strain on the saw, and is safer to use than a dull one. A few habits help this replacement chain last longer:
- Avoid dirt and ground contact. Even a brief touch into soil can dull cutting edges very quickly.
- Maintain proper chain tension. A chain that is too loose can derail; too tight can wear the bar and drive components faster.
- Touch up the cutters early. Light, regular sharpening is easier on the chain than waiting until it becomes badly dull.
It also helps to clean the bar groove and inspect the bar for uneven wear whenever you swap chains.
