Saw chain STIHL Picco Micro 3 (PM3) replacement, Micro chisel cutter, 25.4 / 4 mm (1/4") pitch

Replacement saw chain for STIHL Picco Micro 3 (PM3) compatible chainsaw models, designed for precision cutting and low-vibration operation. This saw chain features a Micro chisel cutter profile and a fine 25.4 / 4 mm (1/4") pitch that delivers accurate, clean cuts on small-diameter wood and branches. The low-profile geometry reduces kickback and vibration, making it suitable for lightweight chainsaws and pole pruners that require a fine-pitch chain.

Advantages

The PM3 Micro chisel design provides efficient chip removal and consistent cutting performance while maintaining a compact profile. Reduced vibration and lower kickback risk improve operator comfort and control during pruning and light forestry tasks. The flat, narrow design and small pitch enable tighter turns and more precise cutting on confined or overhead work. Available drive link thickness options allow compatibility with different small saw bars and guide sprockets.

Suitable for

• Pruning fruit trees and ornamental branches
• Light forestry and limbing on small diameter trees
• Use with compact chainsaws and pole saws
• Fine, precision cuts where low kickback is required
