Overview
This aftermarket chainsaw chain serves as a direct replacement for SKIL TH1200C-11 chainsaws. Packaged as a set of 2, giving you a ready spare. Chains wear down over time from regular use, and a fresh chain cuts faster and safer than a dull one.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 12”
- Pitch: 1/4”
- Quantity: 2 chains per pack
Compatibility
This chain is designed to fit SKIL TH1200C-11. Check your owner’s manual or the existing chain’s markings to verify pitch, gauge, and drive link count before ordering.
Installation notes
Disconnect the spark plug wire or remove the battery before changing a chainsaw chain. Remove the bar cover, release bar tension, and take off the old chain. Place the new chain into the bar groove with the cutting teeth facing forward on top. Reinstall the cover, adjust chain tension until snug, and test by pulling the chain around the bar by hand. Re-check tension after a few minutes of use.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack 12 inch chain fit my SKIL TH1200C-11, or do I need to match anything besides the bar length?
Yes, this chain is made to fit the SKIL TH1200C-11 with a 12 inch bar and 1/4 inch pitch. You should still confirm your saw’s original chain specs on the bar or in the manual, since bar length alone is not enough if a different pitch or gauge was used.
Q: How do I install and tension this 12 inch replacement chain on my SKIL TH1200C-11?
After unplugging or removing power from the saw, mount the chain with the cutter edges facing forward on the top of the bar, then seat it fully in the bar groove and around the drive sprocket. Tension it so the chain sits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand with a gloved hand, then recheck tension after the first few cuts.
Q: Since this is a 2PC chainsaw chain set, how should I maintain the spare chain for best performance?
Keep the spare chain clean, lightly oiled, and stored in a dry place so it does not rust before use. It also helps to rotate chains between sharpenings, because that reduces wear on the bar and sprocket and keeps your SKIL TH1200C-11 cutting more evenly.
