The RM Rapid Micro saw chain with a 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) pitch is particularly suitable for carving chainsaws (such as the STIHL MS 194 C-E), battery-powered chainsaws (e.g., MSA 160), or smaller gasoline-powered chainsaws (e.g., MS 151). It is primarily used for demanding wood carving, tree care, and fine cuts.
Optimal chain tension is ensured as follows: - The chain must lie flat against the underside of the guide bar.
- On the top side, it should be possible to lift it approximately 5 millimeters in the center of the bar.
- With the chain brake released, it must be easy to pull the chain over the bar by hand (be sure to wear protective gloves).
- Depending on the model, the tension is adjusted using the side or front tensioning screw, or the quick-tensioning system with the engine switched off.
