STIHL Quickstop®
STIHL chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It is called a STIHL Quickstop® chain brake. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.

OILOMATIC® STIHL PICCO™ Micro™ 3 (PM3)
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 (2.0 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.
Applications: 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.
