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.
