Chain saw chain STIHL 35 cm .325" pitch 1.3 mm gauge RS Pro

Replacement chain STIHL 35 cm .325" pitch 1.3 mm gauge RS Pro is a spare cutting loop designed for use on chainsaws that accept a 35 cm bar and .325" pitch chains. Intended for general-purpose cutting tasks, the chain combines a compact pitch with a narrow 1.3 mm gauge to deliver controlled, efficient cutting for pruning, firewood preparation and light forestry work. The RS Pro design from STIHL focuses on straightforward fitment and routine maintenance to keep performance consistent over regular use.

Advantages

This chain offers a balance of cutting speed and smoothness due to the .325" pitch, providing fewer vibrations and manageable kickback characteristics compared with larger-pitch chains. The 1.3 mm gauge reduces load on the drive sprocket and bar groove, enabling easier installation and adjustment while maintaining sufficient strength for typical domestic and semi-professional tasks. The RS Pro construction is compatible with common sharpening and maintenance procedures, ensuring predictable service life when properly maintained.

Suitable for

• Pruning and tree care around gardens and orchards
• Cutting and splitting small to medium-sized firewood
• Light building site or farm clearing tasks
• General-purpose hobbyist and semi-professional forestry work

How to use

Fit the chain onto a compatible chainsaw following the manufacturer's instructions for bar and chain installation: ensure the chain is routed correctly around the guide bar and sprocket, then tension to the specified tightness for the saw model. Before operation, verify chain lubrication is functioning and wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Periodically stop and inspect the chain for wear or damage, sharpen cutters with a suitable round file or sharpening tool, and re-tension after sharpening. Replace the chain if drive links or cutters show excessive wear or if safety features are compromised.

Usage recommendations

Use this chain on chainsaws specified for .325" pitch and 1.3 mm gauge chains and pair it with a properly sized 35 cm guide bar. Maintain correct tension, consistent lubrication, and regular sharpening to achieve safe, consistent cutting performance. For heavy-duty or professional continuous use consider a chain with a larger pitch or heavier gauge suited to the application.
