Description:

The STIHL® MS 462 R C-M chainsaw combines an excellent power-to-weight ratio with the next-generation STIHL® M-Tronic™ engine management system. Its wrap handle offers better control when using long guide bars. Weighing only 13.9 lbs., it is the lightest STIHL® gas-powered saw in its class. An advanced STIHL® anti-vibration system reduces operator fatigue during bucking and felling, while the slim sprocket cover lowers weight and improves chip discharge efficiency.

Features:

• MS-Wrap Handle (R) – Allows the saw to be used in multiple positions for felling or limbing with hands in the proper positions.
• STIHL® M-Tronic™ – A new generation of intelligent engine management that eliminates low/high-speed carburetor screws, compensates for dirty filters, elevation changes, and fuel quality to ensure optimum engine power at all times.
• STIHL® ElastoStart™ – Exclusive starter handle with a built-in shock absorber that reduces effort and smooths out compression forces when pulling the starter cord.
• STIHL® Ematic™ Lubrication System – Provides proper bar and chain lubrication with up to 50% less oil consumption when used with a STIHL® OILOMATIC® saw chain.
• STIHL® Quickstop® – Chain brake system designed to stop the chain in certain kickback situations. Can be activated by hand or inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.
• Lightweight Sprocket Cover with Captive Bar Nuts – Reduces weight and keeps bar nuts securely in place for easier chain maintenance.
• Adjustable Automatic Oiler – Lets users control oil flow for different bar lengths and cutting conditions.
• Winter/Summer Shutter – Maintains optimal carburetor temperature year-round and prevents icing below 50°F (10°C).
• Bumper Spikes – Provide better control, reduce pull-in, and make cutting easier.
• Decompression Valve – Temporarily reduces cylinder compression for easier starting. Opens manually and closes automatically when the engine fires.
• Pre-Separation Air Filtration System – Uses centrifugal force to eject heavier dirt particles before they reach the air filter, extending cleaning intervals.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner – Makes chain adjustments quicker and more convenient with a bar wrench.
• STIHL® Master Control Lever™ – A single lever that operates choke, throttle lock, and on/off switch for simplified operation.
• STIHL® Anti-Vibration System – Reduces vibration levels for less operator fatigue and greater comfort.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers – Easy-open caps require no tools to remove or tighten.
• Throttle Trigger Lock – Designed for added safety during operation.
