The Stihl 16 inch (40 cm) PM3 Picco Micro 3 chainsaw chain is a genuine OEM replacement loop designed for light-duty petrol and electric chainsaws. Built with precision-ground, low-vibration cutters and reinforced drive links, it ensures smooth, accurate cutting with reduced kickback for safer operation.
This chain is specified with a 3/8 inch Low Profile pitch (9.5 mm), a 0.050 inch (1.3 mm) gauge, and 57 drive links, making it the correct fit for guide bars and sprockets marked 3/8″ LP and 1.3 mm. Manufactured from high-quality hardened steel, the PM3 design combines cutting efficiency with operator comfort, helping smaller saws maintain performance while minimising fatigue. Suited to models such as the Echo CS-280, CS-300, and a wide range of compact electric and petrol machines, it is an ideal replacement to keep your saw working safely and efficiently.
