Stihl® Picco™ Micro™ 3 chain is a low-kickback, narrow kerf, smooth cutting and low profile chain ideal for small to mid sized chainsaws with between 1.5 kW (2 bhp) and 1.9 kW (2.5 bhp). It performs equally well as compared to the PMM3 chain, with the only difference being a slight increase in weight. This semi chisel chain does not usually get dull as fast as full chisel chain in normal use and is easier to maintain and sharpen. The PM3 chain is ideal for small branches, general cleanup and maintenance around the home or farm. Professionals requiring plunge-cutting should use this chain as well. Stihl® recommends using low-kickback, green-labeled chain and green-labeled reduced kickback bars on all powerheads.
