Description:

Meet your ideal business partner—the STIHL® MS 462 C-M chainsaw—specially engineered for the professional who desires more power with less weight. At just over 13 pounds, the MS 462 C-M is the lightest-ever STIHL® chainsaw produced in its fuel-powered class and thus reduces the fatigue you experience in daily forestry work. It features an excellent power-to-weight ratio for added maneuverability tested by professionals in the field. The next generation STIHL M-Tronic™ engine management system electronically controls ignition timing and fuel metering. Conveniently, the saw auto-adjusts for changes in its operating environment, such as changes in altitude and fuel quality, for optimal performance. As an added measure to reduce vibration and user fatigue, the anti-vibration system is designed for good handling when the MS 462 C-M is equipped with longer guide bars.

Features:

• STIHL M-Tronic™
• A new generation of intelligent engine management that electronically controls ignition timing and fuel metering. It automatically compensates for dirty air filters, changes in elevation, and fuel quality—eliminating the need for manual carburetor adjustments and ensuring optimal engine performance at all times.
• STIHL ElastoStart™
• An exclusive starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that reduces the effort required to start the saw. ElastoStart™ smooths out compression forces felt during cranking for more comfortable starting.
• Ematic™ Lubrication System
• When used with STIHL OILOMATIC® chain, the Ematic™ guide bar system delivers precise lubrication to the chain links and bar rails, reducing bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
• STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake
• A chain-stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury during kickback situations. Can be activated manually or by inertia, stopping the chain in fractions of a second.
• Lightweight Portability
• Engineered for professional use, this chainsaw offers excellent maneuverability with reduced user fatigue thanks to its low weight and well-balanced design.
• Adjustable Automatic Oiler
• Allows users to fine-tune bar and chain lubrication for different cutting conditions and guide bar lengths.
• Winter/Summer Shutter
• Ensures optimal carburetor temperature year-round and prevents icing when operating in temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Bumper Spikes
• Provide stability and leverage when cutting, helping to prevent pull-in and improve control.
• Decompression Valve
• Temporarily reduces compression in the combustion chamber for easier starting with less effort.
• Pre-Separation Air Filtration System
• Extends air filter service intervals by ejecting larger particles before they reach the air filter—delivering longer run time and reduced maintenance.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner
• Offers quick and easy chain adjustments using a bar wrench, improving convenience in the field.
• Master Control Lever™
• A single lever that integrates the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch—streamlining operation and improving workflow.
• Anti-Vibration System
• Minimizes vibration at the handles, reducing operator fatigue and increasing comfort during extended use.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers
• Eliminate the need for tools—simply lift the lever and twist to remove or tighten the caps.
• Throttle Trigger Lock with Built-In Momentary Stop Switch
• Automatically resets to the start position after the engine is stopped, ensuring the chainsaw is always ready for the next task.
