does the roller stop the the chain if it comes off the bar,like the catcher does?
It is a chain catcher, not a "roller".

Please excuse my ignorance here for I'm still in the green and learning. Is the stock chain catcher assembly not needed if there is a roller chain catcher assembly in place? Just want to make sure that I understand this correctly.
If in answer to that question; thank you!correct

Looking at the IPL that I have for the MS 362, it simply states "chain catcher." The synthetic "roller" is just called a "sleeve." The complete assembly is just that, chain catcher. Thought that was interesting how it's listed that way.True but I call it a roller catcher. I don't know what the official Stihl name for the device is. On my 660 and 460 I have an aftermarket full wrap handle so I don't run a separate catcher.
they both serve the same purpose which is to stop a thrown chain.
you wont be able to install the roller catcher with the stock aluminum catcher in place. its gets in the way on the 066/660. its one or the other.
Just got mine last week and so far have not had a chance to get it in wood yet. Hopefully very soon!! Thank you!
Dang...i got my 562xp last week and have about 25 tanks through it.
Yea I know, it's killing me. I had all the wood done for winter after I got it. I do have some trees I have to go cut, but I have to get the time to go do it. Busy with tractor work now and one tree I have to build a road over a culvert to haul it out as it's on an island. Hopefully soon I will be logging some hours on her. Anxious to see how it does with the 8 pin and RS chain. Dang that chain is SHARP!:hmm3grin2orange:
I'm just messin' with you. My saw pay my bills so they get run more.
P.S. right out of the box run the file acrossed that chain i even knock the rakers down a cew strokes but be very careful doing that.
LOL, yea I don't pay the bills with mine. Just an idiot that enjoys saws and cuttin wood.:wink2: It's funny you talk about the rakers as I like cutting them down. I almost over did it on the 390 chain.:hmm3grin2orange:
