Description:

With the STIHL® MS 462 C-M VW gas-driven chainsaw, forestry work is guaranteed to progress quickly, even in winter. The weight-optimised gas chainsaw for forestry applications weighs just 6.1 kg in total. It is exceptionally light and can withstand frosty temperatures thanks to heated handles and carburettor. The electric heated handles on this professional power tool ensure that you have a firm grip on the chainsaw even in cold weather. The electrically heated carburettor with temperature-dependent on-and-off control prevents the carburettor from icing up during winter use.

The STIHL® MS 462 C-M for forestry applications impresses with its powerful STIHL 2-MIX™ engine and good power-to-weight ratio. The fully electronic STIHL M-Tronic™ engine management system supports straightforward starting and optimum engine performance at all times.

The STIHL® MS 462 C-M VW also has a number of other sophisticated features:

• Tool-free fuel caps that enable quick and easy filling of oil and gas.
• Quick and easy chain replacement thanks to captive nuts on the sprocket cover.
• When working in dusty conditions, the HD2 air filter with radial seal reliably protects the engine against fine dust and is easy to clean, for example using STIHL VarioClean™. The combination of the HD2 air filter and a pre-separation routing system that also comes as standard on the MS 462 means you benefit from a long-life air filter system.

Features:

RELIABLE WORK WITH THE BEST PERFORMANCE. With STIHL M-Tronic™, you’ll have the best performance from your work tool from the outset. Fully electronic engine management regulates the ignition timing and fuel metering in all work situations, taking into account external conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality.

FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your power tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL® anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your power tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.

EFFORTLESS START-UP. The decompression valve makes it easier to start your power tool. When starting, you can allow some of the compressed mixture to escape from the cylinder by opening the valve. This protects the Easy2Start™ system and reduces the amount of force required on the starter cord.
