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™
• This advanced engine management system eliminates the need for low- and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws. It automatically compensates for a dirty air filter, changes in elevation, and fuel quality—delivering optimal engine power in all conditions.
• STIHL ElastoStart™
• The exclusive ElastoStart™ starter handle includes a built-in shock absorber to reduce the effort required when pulling the starter cord. It smooths out peak forces felt during cranking for easier starting.
• Ematic™ Lubrication System
• Designed to reduce bar oil consumption by up to 50%, the Ematic™ system uses ramps in the guide bar to direct lubrication precisely where it’s needed, especially when paired with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain.
• STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake
• This chain-stopping system is engineered to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It can be activated manually or by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.
• Lightweight Portability
• At just over 13 pounds, this chainsaw offers excellent maneuverability and reduced operator fatigue for extended use.
• Adjustable Automatic Oiler
• Tailor the lubrication flow to suit different guide bar lengths and cutting conditions for optimal performance.
• Winter/Summer Shutter
• Ensures the carburetor maintains an optimal temperature year-round, preventing icing in conditions below 50°F (10°C).
• Bumper Spikes
• Provide added control and reduce pull-in for smoother, more efficient cutting.
• Decompression Valve
• Vents compression from the cylinder during starting for reduced effort. The valve opens manually and closes automatically once the engine fires.
• Pre-Separation Air Filtration System
• Extends the interval between air filter cleanings by ejecting larger debris before it reaches the filter—resulting in less maintenance and longer engine life.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner
• Offers convenient chain adjustment using a bar wrench, eliminating the need to reach into tight areas.
• Master Control Lever™
• Combines choke, starting throttle lock, and on/off switch into one intuitive lever, streamlining operation.
• STIHL Anti-Vibration System
• Minimizes vibration for greater comfort and reduced operator fatigue during extended use.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers
• Easily open and close fuel and oil tanks without tools. Built-in retainers keep caps securely attached when not in use.
