Stihl 14" Light 04 Centennial Edition Guide Bar 3/8" Picco, .043", 50 Drive Links - 100 Year Anniversary
This is a genuine STIHL Light 04 Centennial Edition guide bar. It was released for a limited time to mark STIHL's 100th anniversary and is meant for lightweight homeowner and compact utility chainsaws. It measures 14" and runs 3/8" Low Profile (Picco) pitch, .043" gauge, 50 drive links (50DL). It fits saws such as the MS 162, MS 170 and MS 180, and its lightweight build improves balance for firewood cutting, light clearing and backyard trimming.
The Light 04 Centennial Edition is built for easy handling, quick cutting and good maneuverability. Its narrow .043" guide track and slim Light 04 bar body make a narrow-kerf cutting system that removes less wood with each cut. That lowers cutting resistance, so smaller-displacement engines can hold higher RPMs and work through logs with less effort. It is made to pair with efficient compact powerheads like the MS 162, MS 170, MS 172 C, and MS 180, giving fast cutting with reduced kickback risk so homeowners and property caretakers can clear branches and storm debris quickly and safely. Quantities are limited, which makes it both a practical upgrade and a collectible for STIHL owners.
Why Light 04 Narrow-Kerf Matters: On smaller-displacement utility saws, keeping weight and drag down is important. The engineered lightweight core and very thin .043" profile give this Light 04 bar a noticeable improvement in "swing weight." With less nose heaviness, a lightweight saw feels quick, responsive and well balanced through long yard cleanups and limbing jobs.
Setup & Fitment Details: Made only for small-mount STIHL chainsaws running a 3/8" Low Profile (Picco) drive sprocket. Uses a 3/8" Low Profile, .043" gauge chain loop with exactly 50 drive links (50DL). Factory-compatible with compact powerheads including the MS 162, MS 170, MS 171, MS 172 C-E, MS 180, and MS 181.
