Fitment and Chain Loop Assembly

This STIHL 46 RSLF reel is for compatible cutting systems specified for .404" pitch and .063" gauge chain. Each finished loop must have the correct drive link count for the specific chainsaw and guide bar combination.

Confirm that the saw manufacturer approves the chain type and cutting attachment. Verify guide bar markings and sprocket compatibility before assembling or installing a loop. Bar length or engine displacement alone does not confirm fitment.

This is a bulk reel that requires cutting and joining with appropriate chain assembly equipment and compatible connecting components. The 1,480 drive links refer to the entire reel, not one finished chain loop.

Sharpening and Care

Maintain the square-ground cutter geometry using suitable square-filing tools or square-grinding equipment and STIHL’s specifications for 46 RSLF chain. The round-file instructions for conventional RS chain do not preserve this chain’s square-ground cutting geometry.

This specialized chain is intended for experienced professional operators. Follow the chainsaw manufacturer’s chain-selection and safety instructions.

Inspect the chain for damage and maintain proper chain tension and lubrication.
