STIHL Light 04 18 In. Chainsaw Bar

With its legendary STIHL quality and updated modern design, the STIHL Light 04 Guide Bar is a great all-around option for frequent chainsaw use. The bar itself consists of three metal plates electrically welded together for a lightweight yet stable feel, and a narrow bar nose is designed to reduce kickback. The four-rivet sprocket in the bar nose allows the chain to travel from the top to the bottom of the bar, reducing wear and tear. Induction-hardened rails also increase wear resistance and help lead to a long service life. Fans of the STIHL ROLLOMATIC E Standard Guide Bar will enjoy the Light 04 Guide Bar for cutting firewood, delimbing and more. The guide bar includes convenient laser engraved graphics that list length, pitch, groove width, drive link count, and part number.

All-around guide bar suitable for small to medium-duty chainsaws. Typically, this bar is not used by professional operators.

STIHL recommends using low-kickback, green-labeled chain and green-labeled reduced-kickback bars on all powerheads.

This type of construction is an advantage where extensive use is made of the bar nose (i.e. limbing and boring).
