STIHL® MS 462 C-M

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.
