Common Questions▼

Q: What does the chain code 61PMM3 55E mean on STIHL part 3610 005 0055?

A: The code breaks down as follows — "61" indicates the Picco chain family, "PMM3" identifies the Picco Micro 3 cutter type with a semi-chisel profile, and "55E" specifies 55 drive links. Together these confirm the pitch (3/8" LP), gauge (0.043"), and link count of the chain, which must all match your guide bar for proper fit.

Q: Will STIHL chain 3610 005 0055 fit my MS 170 or MS 180 chainsaw?

A: The STIHL 61PMM3 55E chain is commonly used on MS 170 and MS 180 models equipped with the appropriate bar length. However, fitment depends on your specific bar length and groove specifications. Check the label printed on your guide bar for the pitch, gauge, and drive link count, and verify all three match part 3610 005 0055 before installing.

Q: Is STIHL part 3610 005 0055 a genuine OEM chain or an aftermarket replacement?

A: This is a genuine STIHL OEM saw chain, manufactured to original factory specifications. It is not an aftermarket or generic substitute. Using genuine OEM parts like the 61PMM3 55E ensures proper fit, consistent cutting performance, and compatibility with STIHL guide bars and sprockets.

Q: How do I know when to replace the chain on my STIHL chainsaw?

A: Replace the chain when cutters are worn below the depth gauge, when the chain no longer holds tension properly, when you notice the saw pulling to one side during cutting, or when teeth are chipped or cracked. A sharp, properly tensioned STIHL 61PMM3 55E chain (3610 005 0055) cuts efficiently and reduces strain on the saw's motor and bar.
