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 STIHL® 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 chainsaw features M-Tronic™ (M) – a new generation of intelligent engine management. It eliminates the need for manual low- and high-speed carburetor adjustments and automatically compensates for changes in elevation, fuel quality, and dirty air filters to ensure optimum engine performance at all times.
• STIHL ElastoStart™
• The ElastoStart™ starter handle includes a built-in shock absorber that reduces the effort needed to pull the starter cord. This helps smooth out the force spikes normally experienced during engine cranking, making starting easier and more comfortable.
• Ematic™ Lubrication System
• The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, delivers precise lubrication where it's needed most—on the bar and chain links, rivets, and driver holes. This reduces bar oil consumption by up to 50% compared to conventional systems.
• STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake
• The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake helps reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It can be activated manually by the operator's hand or automatically by inertia during sudden upward motion, stopping the chain in fractions of a second.
• Lightweight Portability
• Designed for easy maneuverability, the MS 462 C-M is one of the lightest chainsaws in its class. Ideal for professionals, it offers outstanding control with less fatigue during extended use.
• Adjustable Automatic Oiler
• Provides adjustable lubrication for the guide bar and chain, allowing users to adapt oil flow to suit different bar lengths and cutting conditions.
• Winter/Summer Shutter
• Enables optimal carburetor operation year-round by preventing icing in cold conditions (below 50°F / 10°C), ensuring consistent performance regardless of temperature.
• Bumper Spikes
• Heavy-duty spikes enhance stability during cutting and help prevent pull-in, allowing for better control and more precise cuts.
• Decompression Valve
• This manually activated valve releases cylinder pressure during startup, reducing the effort required to pull the starter rope. It automatically closes once the engine fires.
• Pre-Separation Air Filtration System
• Extends filter life by ejecting heavier debris before it reaches the air filter. This reduces maintenance frequency and ensures longer-lasting performance.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner
• Simplifies chain adjustments by allowing access from the side of the saw with a bar wrench, rather than adjusting at the front.
• Master Control Lever™
• A single lever that integrates choke, start throttle lock, and on/off switch functions. Easy to operate with one hand and reduces confusion during startup.
• STIHL Anti-Vibration System
• Engineered to reduce operator fatigue, this system dampens vibrations transmitted from the engine and cutting attachment to the user’s hands and arms for greater comfort during prolonged use.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers
• Quickly open or tighten fuel and oil caps without tools. Integrated retainers prevent caps from being lost.
• Throttle Trigger Lock
• Provides an added safety measure by requiring the throttle trigger to be deliberately engaged before the engine accelerates.
