The Stihl 16 inch (40 cm) PM3 Picco Micro 3 chainsaw chain is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for light-duty and mid-range saws that require a 3/8 inch Low Profile pitch (9.5 mm), a 0.050 inch (1.3 mm) gauge, and 55 drive links. Manufactured from high-strength, heat-treated steel with hardened rivets and semi-chisel cutter profiles, it is engineered to provide clean, efficient cutting with reduced vibration and kickback.
The Picco Micro 3 (PM3) low-profile design ensures smooth operation and easier handling, making it ideal for compact saws like the MS 170 and MS 180, as well as selected battery and electric Stihl models. Its narrow-kerf build improves chain speed and cutting efficiency, while the semi-chisel cutter style offers good edge retention even in mixed wood conditions. Dependable and easy to fit, this chain restores performance when your existing loop becomes worn or stretched.
