STIHL MS 462 C-M 20 In. 72.2 Cc Gas Chainsaw

Meet your ideal business partner, the STIHL MS 462 C-M chainsaw. The STIHL MS 462 C-M was specially engineered for the pro user who desires more power with less weight and thus less user fatigue from their chainsaw in daily forestry work. At just over 13 pounds, the MS 462 C-M is the lightest ever STIHL chainsaw produced in its fuel powered class. 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. The anti vibration system is designed for good handling when the MS 462 C-M is equipped with longer guide bars while still reducing vibration which equals less fatigue for the user.

The side access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw

Air drawn into the engine is first separated via centrifugal force, ejecting the heavier dirt particles before being routed to the air filter

The adjustable automatic oiler allows the user to adjust the lubricant of the guide bar and saw chain for different bar lengths and cutting conditions
