The Stihl 63PS3 is a genuine OEM replacement loop for 14-inch bars on compact, top-handle and other saws up to about 40cc. It uses 3/8-inch low-profile (Picco) pitch, .050 gauge and 50 drive links, with chisel cutters for fast, clean cross-cuts and bumper drive links to reduce kickback. It is the stock-style chain for small Stihl saws such as the MS 170/180/190/200/201 class, and it suits owners who want factory fit and predictable cutting over bargain aftermarket loops. Compared with semi-chisel chains it cuts faster in clean wood but dulls sooner in dirty or frozen timber.

Owners of small Stihl saws generally rate the 63PS3 as a sharp, fast-cutting OEM chain that fits as expected and holds up well with proper sharpening. Complaints center on how quickly chisel cutters dull in dirty wood and on the need to match pitch, gauge and link count exactly.
The Stihl 63PS3 Picco is a 14-inch replacement chain loop for compact top-handle and lightweight chainsaws. It has 50 drive links, a 3/8" low profile (3/8P) pitch and a .050" gauge. It replaces Stihl part number 3616 005 0050.
The chain uses chisel cutters and bumper drive links, which reduce kickback. It is meant for replacing worn or damaged chain loops.
To install, remove the old chain from the guide bar, then fit the new loop onto the sprocket and bar. Adjust the tension so the chain is snug but can still be moved by hand. Lubricate it with bar and chain oil and test the saw before cutting. Sharpen it regularly with a 4.0mm (5/32") file.
