This is a 12-inch replacement saw chain for narrow kerf chainsaw setups. It is built for the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 12 inch Top Handle Chainsaw (2826-20) and works with any saw and bar that match its pitch, gauge, bar length and drive link count. The recommended guide bar is the 12 inch .325 inch Low Profile Pitch, .043 inch Gauge Guide Bar (49-16-2743).
The cutter has a multi-axis shape grind for cutting hardwood quickly. Its narrow kerf, low profile design removes a narrower path of material than a standard kerf chain, so it takes less effort to pull through the cut. On a cordless chainsaw, this means more cuts per charge than a standard kerf chain.
It is a low kickback chain with a standard chain sequence. It is not a full-chisel specialty chain. The file size, file angle and depth gauge are specified for sharpening.
