Description:

The STIHL® MS 462 R C-M chainsaw features an excellent power-to-weight ratio, the next generation STIHL M-Tronic™ engine management system, and a wrap-handle design that allows for more control when using long guide bars. This is the lightest STIHL® gasoline-powered saw in its class, weighing only 13.9 lbs., and includes an anti-vibration system that helps reduce fatigue for the user when bucking and felling trees. This saw also features a slim sprocket cover that reduces weight and provides efficient chip discharge.

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™ – Intelligent engine management system eliminates manual carburetor adjustments, and adapts to elevation, fuel quality, and dirty air filters for optimal performance.
• STIHL ElastoStart™ – A starter handle with a built-in shock absorber that smooths out compression forces, reducing effort during starting.
• Ematic™ Lubrication System – Directs lubrication precisely to reduce bar oil consumption by up to 50% when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® chains.
• STIHL Quickstop® – A chain brake system that stops chain rotation in certain kickback situations via manual or inertia activation.
• Lightweight Sprocket Cover with Captive Bar Nuts – Reduces weight and simplifies maintenance with bar nuts that stay attached.
• Adjustable Automatic Oiler – Provides extra lubrication for longer guide bars or dry, dusty cutting conditions.
• Winter/Summer Shutter – Optimizes carburetor temperature year-round and helps prevent icing below 50°F (10°C).
• Bumper Spikes – Improves control and cutting efficiency by preventing pull-in.
• Decompression Valve – Temporarily lowers compression in the combustion chamber for easier starting.
• Pre-Separation Air Filtration System – Removes heavier particles before reaching the air filter, extending filter life and reducing maintenance.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner – Makes chain adjustments easier using a bar wrench.
• Master Control Lever™ – Single-lever control for choke, throttle lock, and on/off switch, simplifying operation.
• Anti-Vibration System – Minimizes vibration to reduce operator fatigue and enhance comfort.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers – Twist-off caps eliminate the need for tools during refueling or oiling.
• Throttle Trigger Lock – Prevents accidental throttle activation for added safety.
• Reduced-Emission Engine Technology – Caring for Nature – Identifies STIHL® products that meet or exceed EPA and/or CARB standards for low exhaust emissions.
