  Milwaukee M12 FHS Chain Questions

  What size chain does a Milwaukee M12 FHS take?

  3/8" LP pitch, .043" (1.1mm) gauge, 28 drive links, on its standard 6" bar.

  How many drive links is an M12 FHS chain?

  28 drive links on the standard 6" bar. If you're unsure, the DL count is usually stamped on the bar itself, or count the drive links on your old chain.

  What file do I use on an M12 FHS chain?

  A 4.0mm round file suits this 3/8" LP chain.

  Milwaukee's manual says "chain teeth". Is that the drive link count?

  Yes. Milwaukee's operator's manual labels the drive link count as "chain teeth" (28). Milwaukee's own replacement chain for this saw is listed with 28 drive links.

  Will this chain fit other Milwaukee saws?

  Possibly, but please use our Search by Chainsaw tool to find your specific saw chain with no doubt.

  Is this a genuine Milwaukee chain?

  No — it's an Alpine Chain Co. chain manufactured to fit the M12 FHS, replacing the Milwaukee 49162732 (US 49-16-2732). Same pitch, gauge and drive link count, with a semi-chisel profile chosen for Australian hardwood. Every fit is backed by our Guaranteed Fit system.

How to Verify Your Chain Size

If you are unsure if this is the correct chain for your Milwaukee M12 FHS, check the side of your current guide bar. The Pitch, Gauge, and Drive Link (DL) count are typically stamped directly into the bar near the mounting bolts.
