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 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 has 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 while keeping hands in proper operating positions.
• STIHL M-Tronic™: Features the next-generation intelligent engine management system that automatically adjusts for air filter condition, elevation, and fuel quality, eliminating manual carburetor adjustments for optimal performance.
• STIHL ElastoStart™: A unique starter grip with a built-in shock absorber that reduces effort and minimizes kickback forces when pulling the starter cord.
• Ematic™ Lubrication System: When paired with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, this system provides maximum lubrication and can reduce bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
• STIHL Quickstop®: A chain brake system designed to stop the saw chain in certain kickback situations, activated by the operator’s hand or inertia.
• Lightweight Sprocket Cover with Captive Bar Nuts: Reduces weight and improves maintenance efficiency by securing bar nuts in place.
• Adjustable Automatic Oiler: Enables the user to tailor the lubrication to the bar length and cutting conditions.
• Winter/Summer Shutter: Maintains carburetor performance year-round and prevents icing in temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Bumper Spikes: Help prevent pull-in and increase cutting stability and control.
• Decompression Valve: Reduces cylinder compression for easier starting by venting pressure during cranking; automatically closes once the engine fires.
• Pre-Separation Air Filtration System: Increases air filter service life by ejecting heavier particles before they reach the filter, reducing maintenance frequency.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner: Makes saw chain adjustments more convenient with a bar wrench.
• Master Control Lever™: Combines choke, throttle lock, and on/off switch into one easy-to-use control for streamlined starting and operation.
• Anti-Vibration System: Reduces operator fatigue by minimizing vibration levels during use for enhanced comfort and productivity.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers: Allow easy, tool-free opening and tightening for quicker refueling and oiling.
• Throttle Trigger Lock: Enhances operator safety and control.
