Features

RELIABLE WORK WITH THE BEST PERFORMANCE. With STIHL M-Tronic, you’ll have the best performance from your work tool from the outset. Fully electronic engine management regulates the ignition timing and fuel metering in all work situations, taking into account external conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality.
STIHL M-TRONIC
EFFORTLESS START-UP. The decompression valve makes it easier to start your power tool. When starting, you can allow some of the compressed mixture to escape from the cylinder by opening the valve. This protects the start-up system and reduces the amount of force required on the starter cord.
MANUAL DECOMPRESSION
EASY STARTING EVEN WHEN WEARING GLOVES. Start your chainsaw safely and easily with the large starter grip. It’s easy to use the grip even with bulky gloves on.
LARGE STARTER GRIP
REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance.
COMPENSATOR
SAVES YOUR ENERGY. The optimised sprocket cover is narrower and flatter than the previous model. This improvement enables effortless delimbing and excellent chip removal. It has integrated slide rails and a guide edge, making it easier to guide the power tool along the trunk.
OPTIMISED SPROCKET COVER
HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT. With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.
STIHL 2-MIX ENGINE
EXTENDED FILTER SERVICE LIFE. Pre-separation routing removes coarse, larger particles from the airstream before they can reach the actual filter. The HD2 filter keeps even fine dust away from the engine, ensuring a long engine service life, long cleaning intervals and easy maintenance of your chainsaw. When we refer to a long-life air filter system in chainsaws, this exclusively describes models that have pre-separation routing and an HD2 filter. With this system, you benefit from a significantly longer filter service life compared to conventional air filter systems.
LONG-LIFE AIR FILTER SYSTEM FOR CHAINSAWS
FOR SIMPLE AND SECURE RE-TENSIONING. Side-mounted chain tensioning allows for protected, easy and quick chain tensioning and replacement. The tensioning screw is inserted laterally through the sprocket cover.
SIDE-MOUNTED CHAIN TENSIONING
QUICK AND EASY TO USE. With tool-free fuel cap, you can open and close oil and fuel tanks in just a few simple steps, thanks to a bayonet closure.
TOOL-FREE FUEL CAP FOR OIL AND FUEL TANKS
REDUCES OIL CONSUMPTION. The STIHL Ematic system comprises a STIHL Ematic or Ematic S guide bar, a STIHL Oilomatic saw chain and a controlled-delivery oil pump. It ensures that the chain oil gets to where it is needed for lubrication. This allows you to reduce oil consumption by up to 50%. If you often work in dusty conditions or if you use long guide bars, you can quickly and easily increase the oil quantity at any time with the new oil pump system.
STIHL EMATIC SYSTEM
ENABLES DEPTH-CONTROLLED CUTS. With the help of the cut-depth limiter with quick-release tensioner, the cutting depth can be adjusted up to approx. 20 cm on an infinitely variable basis. This can be done quickly and easily, even when wearing gloves.

Rescue saw with carbide saw chain

The STIHL MS 462 C-M R petrol-driven emergency services saw has special features that make rescue operations tasks quicker and more effective, especially for emergency services. Thanks to the emergency services saw, rescue workers in fire brigades and technical assistance services can work precisely, and can even cut through resistant materials such as sheet metal, corrugated bitumen or wire glass. With this in mind, the rescue chainsaw is equipped with an extremely robust STIHL Rapid Duro R carbide saw chain with full coating made from impact-resistant carbide plates.

The powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine in the STIHL MS 462 C-M R emergency services saw contributes to the tool’s impressive and excellent power-to-weight ratio. The chainsaw is equipped with STIHL M-Tronic fully electronic engine management for easy starting and optimum engine performance at all times. Other sophisticated features of this petrol-driven chainsaw include:

  • Tool-free fuel caps that enable quick and easy filling of oil and petrol.
  • Quick and easy chain replacement thanks to captive nuts on the sprocket cover.
  • When working in dusty conditions, the HD2 air filter with radial seal reliably protects the engine against fine dust and is easy to clean, for example using STIHL VarioClean. The combination of the HD2 air filter and a pre-separation routing system that also comes as standard on the MS 462 means you benefit from a long-life air filter system.

As an emergency services saw the STIHL MS 462 C-M R has special features including:

  • a large additional handle to make it easier to start when wearing gloves
  • a further handle for quick and easy cutting depth adjustment
  • a cutting depth limiter for controlled plunge cuts
