Compatibility
This chain is designed to fit SKIL CS4555-10 Chainsaw. Always confirm your saw’s model number and bar length before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Installation notes
Power down the saw and disconnect the battery or spark plug lead. Remove the side cover and release bar tension. Take the old chain off the bar and sprocket, then thread the new chain into the bar groove, confirming the cutting edges face forward on the top rail. Set the tension so the chain pulls freely without sagging away from the bar, and do a brief test run to verify everything tracks correctly.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack 14-inch chain fit my SKIL CS4555-10 chainsaw without changing the bar?
Yes, this chain set is made for the SKIL CS4555-10 with a 14-inch bar, so it should fit your saw as long as you are still using the original 14-inch setup. It’s always a good idea to confirm your current bar length matches 14 inches and compare the chain markings on your existing chain before installation.
Q: Do I need to sharpen these chains before using them on my SKIL CS4555-10, or are they ready to install?
These chains are typically ready to install and use right away, so you should not need to sharpen them before the first cut. After installation, make sure the chain tension is set correctly and add bar and chain oil before running the saw to prevent premature wear.
Q: What’s the best way to maintain these 14-inch chains so they last longer on my SKIL CS4555-10?
Keep the chain properly tensioned, make sure the oil reservoir is filled, and clean sawdust from the bar groove and sprocket area regularly. If cutting starts to feel slow or the chain throws fine dust instead of chips, it’s time to sharpen the cutters and inspect the chain for wear or damage.
