Description
The STIHL PICCO Micro 3 (PM3) saw chain brings safe, efficient, low-kickback cutting to compact chainsaws and pruning tools, perfect for precision work.
STIHL PICCO Micro 3 (PM3) Saw Chain
The STIHL PICCO Micro 3 (PM3) saw chain offers safe, efficient cutting performance tailored to compact chainsaws and pruning tools. Engineered with a low-profile, narrow-kerf design, the PM3 chain reduces kickback and ensures smoother operation even under lighter power conditions. It’s ideal when you need precision without heavy force, making it a reliable choice for garden maintenance and tight-area cutting.
Low-kickback geometry
This chain is designed with a safety-focused structure to minimize kickback. Its semi-chisel cutters reduce aggressive bites while still delivering effective cutting. The result is a balance between performance and user protection, especially around shrubs, hedges, and overhead work.
Efficient and smooth cutting
The narrow kerf and lightweight build of the PM3 chain lower drag and reduce vibration. That means more engine power is put toward cutting rather than effort loss. Over extended sessions, the chain feels more responsive and less tiring to handle.
Perfect for pruning and light tasks
Its design makes this chain well-suited for trimming limbs, clearing light brush, and doing garden clean-up jobs. Because it performs reliably at lower power, it’s favored for tasks where delicate handling beats brute force.
Easy maintenance in the field
Semi-chisel cutters tend to dull more gradually than full-chisel types, giving you more room for error between sharpenings. When maintenance is due, the PM3 chain is easier to file and aligns well with standard filing gauges — perfect for operators who need reliable field upkeep.
