Meet Your Ideal Business Partner – The STIHL MS 462 C-M chainsaw is specially engineered for professionals who demand more power with less weight. Weighing in at just over 13 pounds, it's the lightest-ever STIHL® chainsaw in its fuel-powered class—significantly reducing operator fatigue during extended forestry work.

Impressive Power-to-Weight Ratio – This saw delivers a standout power-to-weight ratio, offering enhanced maneuverability without compromising strength—tested and approved by seasoned pros in the field.

STIHL M-Tronic™ Engine Management System – The next-generation STIHL M-Tronic™ electronically manages ignition timing and fuel metering. This smart system auto-adjusts to changing conditions—such as altitude and fuel quality—ensuring consistent, optimal performance without manual carburetor adjustments.

Anti-Vibration System for Long Guide Bars – Built with a robust anti-vibration system, the MS 462 C-M ensures smoother operation and better handling, especially when paired with longer guide bars. This helps minimize user fatigue and improves control during felling, bucking, and extended cutting sessions.

Features:

  • STIHL M-Tronic™
  • A new generation of intelligent engine management. This system eliminates low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws and automatically compensates for air filter conditions, altitude, and fuel quality—ensuring peak engine performance in any environment.
  • STIHL ElastoStart™
  • A shock-absorbing starter handle that reduces the effort required to pull the starter cord, smoothing out peak forces for a gentler, more efficient start.
  • Ematic™ Lubrication System
  • Reduces bar oil consumption by up to 50%. Strategically placed ramps in the guide bar help retain oil and deliver it precisely to chain and bar surfaces.
  • STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake
  • An inertia-activated chain braking system designed to stop the chain in milliseconds during certain kickback events—adding an extra layer of operator safety.
  • Lightweight Portability
  • Weighing just over 13 lbs, the MS 462 C-M is the lightest professional gas-powered saw in its class, delivering excellent maneuverability and reduced fatigue in the field.
  • Adjustable Automatic Oiler
  • Customizes chain lubrication based on bar length and cutting conditions to optimize performance and minimize wear.
  • Winter/Summer Shutter
  • Allows the carburetor to operate at ideal temperatures year-round and prevents icing in colder weather (below 50°F/10°C).
  • Heavy-Duty Bumper Spikes
  • Provides greater cutting leverage and control by anchoring the saw securely against the wood during cuts.
  • Decompression Valve
  • Vents cylinder compression during starting to reduce pull force, then automatically closes once the engine fires.
  • Pre-Separation Air Filtration System
  • Doubles the service life of the air filter by using centrifugal force to eject heavier particles before they reach the filter, reducing maintenance needs.
  • Side-Access Chain Tensioner
  • Simplifies chain adjustments with a bar wrench—no need to access from the front.
  • Master Control Lever™
  • A single, user-friendly lever that operates the choke, starting throttle lock, and on/off switch for intuitive starting and operation.
  • STIHL Anti-Vibration System
  • Designed to minimize vibration levels during use, improving comfort and reducing operator fatigue—especially important during extended cutting.
  • Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers
  • Easy-open caps make refueling and oiling quick and tool-free, with built-in retainers to prevent loss.
  • Throttle Trigger Lock
  • Prevents accidental throttle engagement for enhanced safety.
