Description
Low profile, inexpensive saw chain for chainsaw/electric saw with 50 links, 4 mm tooth width, 3/8 inch pitch (Low Profile).
3/8" chain pitch is the distance between three consecutive rivets divided by two, measured in inches (approximately 9.52 mm).
Such chains are usually used on household and amateur petrol and electric saws with low power (usually up to 40 cm³).
Provides a smoother cut and reduces the risk of kickback, making them safer for non-professional use.
- LP: low profile tooth
- 1.3мм (Gauge): The thickness of the drive links (the bottom "teeth" that sit in the bar's groove) is 1.3mm (equivalent to .050 inches). This must match the width of your chainsaw bar's groove exactly.
- 3/8" (Pitch): The distance between any three consecutive rivets on the chain, divided by two. A 3/8" pitch is common for mid-to-large saws, but when paired with "PMC," it typically refers to a 3/8" Picco (low-profile) version designed for smaller, consumer-grade saws.
- PMC (Stihl Specific Designation): This is a Stihl-branded code meaning Picco Micro Comfort.
- Picco (P): A low-profile tooth design that sits closer to the bar for less aggressive cutting and reduced kickback.
- Micro (M): Indicates a semi-chisel cutter type, which has rounded corners that stay sharp longer in dirty conditions.
- Comfort (C): Features a design intended to reduce vibration levels during operation.
