3/8" Oilomatic Rapid-Micro chain  -  Type 3989, 3990, 3991

Optimized cutting behavior

A further improvement in cutting behavior has

been achieved by modifying the cutters of 3/8"
Oilomatic Rapid-Micro chains. These chains
now have the following features:

• Designed to improve cutting performance for
   the whole of the chain’s service life

• Less sensitive to sharpening errors
• More accurate straight-line cutting

The dimensional change to the modified saw
chains is not visible to the naked eye. The new

chains can be identified by a code stamped on the
tie straps. The first optimized saw chains to be

shipped will be coded ?X4?.

Extracted from the manufacturer's 2012 service catalogue. Most of these PDFs embed fonts with a shifted character map, so the text above was recovered rather than copied — read it as a faithful but imperfect transcription, and treat the page image above each block as the authority where the two disagree — the figures exist only there, because they are vector drawings that text extraction cannot keep.
