Stihl MS 462 C-M Commercial Chainsaw with 20in Guide Bar

Description

The STIHL MS 462 C-M is a professional chainsaw designed for those who need more power with less weight. Weighing just over 13 pounds, it is the lightest-ever STIHL chainsaw in its fuel-powered class, reducing user fatigue in daily forestry work. This chainsaw features an excellent power-to-weight ratio, enhancing maneuverability and tested by professionals in the field.

The MS 462 C-M is engineered to provide optimal performance with the next-generation STIHL M-Tronic engine management system, which electronically controls ignition timing and fuel metering. This system auto-adjusts for changes in operating environment, such as altitude and fuel quality, ensuring constant maximum speed and excellent acceleration.

Key Features

• STIHL M-Tronic: Electronically controls ignition timing and fuel metering, auto-adjusting for changes in altitude and fuel quality for optimal performance.
• STIHL ElastoStart: A starter handle with a built-in shock absorber that reduces the effort needed to pull the starter cord.
• Ematic Lubrication System: Provides proper lubrication to the guide bar and saw chain, reducing oil consumption by up to 50%.
• STIHL Quickstop: A chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations.
• Anti-Vibration System: Minimizes the transfer of engine and saw chain vibrations to the handles, allowing for smoother operation and reduced user fatigue.
• Decompression Valve: Temporarily reduces compression in the combustion chamber for easier starting.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner: Allows convenient adjustment of the saw chain without contacting the sharp saw chain.
• Long-Life Air Filtration: Achieves longer filter life by pre-separating larger particles before they reach the air filter.
