The first one is a green chain that means that it has less of a chance to kick back (for beginners) the 2 one is a yellow chain it has more of a chance to kickback (more experienced people)
 
The 3634 like above is RM3 in 0.063. I do not see the 3689 in my paper catalog dated nov 2012. It does not produce any results in search at the Stihl site where the other gets some hits from the saws that come with it as standard equipment. Post the answer when you find out, if possible.
 
1 = 1/4"


2 = .325"


3 = 3/8"


4 = .404"


6 = 3/8" PICCO


7 = 1/4" PICCO





1 = .043" (1.1 mm)


3 = .050" (1.3 mm)


5 = .058" (1.5 mm)


6 = .063" (1.6 mm)


0 = .080" (2.0 mm)

2015 catalog lists 3689 as RM3 in 0.063 - both listed as green chains in .325 - did they change numbers between 2012 and 2015 ?
