The Stihl 71PM3 56 Picco Micro chainsaw chain is a high-quality, low-kickback chainsaw chain designed for small to mid-sized chainsaws. This chain is ideal for corded electric, battery, and gasoline-powered chain saws or pole pruners, particularly those with power outputs of less than 1.0kW (1.34bhp). It is well-suited for tasks such as cutting small branches, general cleanup, and maintenance around the home or farm.
The 71PM3 56 chain features a narrow kerf and semi-chisel cutters, which provide smooth cutting performance and reduced kickback. This makes it an excellent choice for both homeowners and professionals who require reliable and safe cutting tools.
Key Features
- Low Kickback: Designed to reduce kickback, making it safer to use.
- Narrow Kerf: Cuts faster and smoother with less vibration.
- Semi-Chisel Cutters: Do not get dull as quickly as full-chisel cutters and are easier to maintain and sharpen.
- Prestretched Chain: Eliminates excessive chain stretching during the break-in period, reducing maintenance time and component wear.
- Chamfered Rivet Holes: Special machining process ensures smooth rivet holes with no microscopic cracks, reducing friction and stretching.
- Chromed Cutters: Sharpened before assembly, stay sharp longer, and have a filing angle indicator mark on the depth gauge.
- Oilomatic Drive Links: Funnel oil directly to rivets, reducing friction and wear, and lowering the volume of bar oil needed.
- Hardened Rivets: Enable rivets to withstand high loads.
