What saws does this chain fit?

It fits STIHL saws and pole pruners that run a 12-inch, 3/8-inch Picco bar with .043-inch gauge chain. Check the bar's stamped pitch and gauge before buying.

Is this a low-kickback chain?

Yes. The PMM3 semi-chisel cutters are designed to reduce kickback and vibration, which suits pruning and limbing.

What does Oilomatic do?

It routes bar oil to the rivets and links as the chain runs, which lowers friction and can extend chain life.

Can I use it for felling large trees?

No. It is built for lightweight saws and compact cutting. Larger saws need a different pitch and gauge.

Do I need a new bar when I replace the chain?

Not necessarily. Replace the chain when cutters are worn or damaged, and replace the bar when its groove or nose is worn.

Our take on the STIHL 61 PMM3 44 .043" Gauge 3/8" Pitch 12" Chainsaw Chain 3610 005 0044

This is a 12-inch replacement chain for STIHL's small, low-power saws and pole pruners. It uses a 3/8-inch Picco pitch and .043-inch gauge, the narrow-kerf setup STIHL builds for lightweight cutting. The semi-chisel cutters and low-kickback design suit pruning and limbing more than heavy felling. It is a direct-fit OEM part, so it matches the saw's bar and sprocket without adapters.

About the STIHL 61 PMM3 44 .043" Gauge 3/8" Pitch 12" Chainsaw Chain 3610 005 0044

The STIHL 61 PMM3 44 is a narrow-kerf chainsaw chain for lightweight saws and compact cutting jobs. It has a semi-chisel cutter profile. The chain is designed for smooth cutting with reduced kickback and low vibration.

It uses STIHL's Oilomatic lubrication system, which channels oil directly to the rivets to reduce friction and extend service life. The narrow-kerf design increases cutting efficiency and needs less power. This makes the chain suited to smaller saws and pole pruners, and to pruning, limbing and general property maintenance.
