How to identify a 71PM chain
- Pitch and Gauge: The “71PM” part of the name indicates the chain type. For example, a chain with the designation “71PM3-28E” is a specific type of PM3 chain.
- Drive Link Count: The number at the end of the product code (e.g., “-28”) indicates the number of drive links on that particular chain.
- Other markings: Stihl also provides the required file size for sharpening, as well as the correct sharpening angle, on the packaging or sometimes stamped on the chain itself.
