Guide Bar STIHL PROWADNICA LIGHT 04, 3/8" pitch, 1.1 mm gauge, 35 cm length

STIHL PROWADNICA LIGHT 04 guide bar, 35 cm long with a 3/8" pitch and 1.1 mm gauge, is designed to provide reliable chain guidance and stable cutting performance for compatible chainsaws. This lightweight guide bar supports accurate chain tracking and reduces overall tool weight, making it suitable for routine cutting tasks, pruning and light felling operations where a combination of maneuverability and durability is required.

Advantages

The guide bar features a slim, lightweight construction that lowers fatigue during extended use and improves handling in confined spaces. Its profile is optimized for smooth chain movement and steady tracking, which helps maintain consistent cutting performance. Built from hardened steel and finished for wear resistance, the bar is intended to offer a balance of durability and reduced mass, aiding both replacement and upgrade applications on compatible machines.

Suitable for

• General-purpose cutting and limbing
• Pruning and garden maintenance
• Light felling of small trees
• Replacing worn or damaged guide bars on compatible chainsaws
• Upgrading to a lighter bar for improved handling

Key specifications

• Bar length: 35 cm
• Chain pitch: 3/8"
• Chain gauge: 1.1 mm
• Construction: lightweight guide bar design with hardened steel wear surfaces
• Application: designed for use with matching 3/8" pitch, 1.1 mm gauge chains

How to use

Install the guide bar according to the chainsaw manufacturer's instructions: ensure the engine is off and the spark plug or battery is disconnected before starting. Remove the chain cover, relieve chain tension, fit the bar onto the mounting studs and align the bar nose with the chain. Fit the chain onto the bar and sprocket, adjust chain tension to the manufacturer's recommended specification, then replace the chain cover and secure fasteners. Check oiling and chain tension before each use and re-check tension after a short break-in period.

Usage recommendations

Use a compatible 3/8" pitch, 1.1 mm gauge chain matched to the bar. Maintain proper chain tension and lubrication to extend bar life. Inspect the bar regularly for wear at the rail and nose, keep the guide groove clean, and rotate or replace the bar when visibly worn or damaged. Follow safety guidelines for chainsaw operation and wear appropriate protective equipment.
