All Stihl Products Literature Guides and Projects STIHL Limited Warranty Contact Stihl Direct A guide bar that has 30% less weight in comparison with STIHL ROLLOMATIC® ES Super guide bars. The STIHL ROLLOMATIC® ES Light guide bar has up to 30% less weight in comparison with STIHL ROLLOMATIC® E Super guide bars. In order to reduce weight, long channels are milled out of the center of a solid guide bar, then a thin steel plate of the same steel is welded over the channels using a special laser welding process. The reduced weight helps decrease operator fatigue, especially on longer bars. A replaceable sprocket nose assembly is also incorporated in the nose of the bar that carries the saw chain from the top to the bottom of the bar. This not only reduces wear, but also enables the bar nose to be made considerably narrower. All STIHL ROLLOMATIC® bars designed with a narrow nose help reduce kickback tendencies. And the sprocket nose assembly can be replaced several times before the whole bar is due for replacement, increasing the guide bar’s service life.Applications: For high-performance woodcutting with larger displacement professional STIHL chainsaws.STIHL recommends using low-kickback, green-labeled chain and green-labeled reduced-kickback bars on all powerheads.Note: The actual listed guide bar length can vary from the effective cutting length depending upon which powerhead it is installed. Warnings and Safety * The actual listed guide bar length can vary from the effective cutting length based on which powerhead it is installed on. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chainsaws). Ask your STIHL dealer about safe operating procedures and the advantages of the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, STIHL Quickstop® Plus additional chain braking feature, STIHL reduced kickback bars and STIHL low-kickback saw chains.STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws.
