Outstanding Features of the MS 462 C-M:
- Ematic Lubrication System: When paired with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, the Ematic™ guide bar provides efficient lubrication while reducing oil consumption. Specially designed ramps in the guide bar rail direct the flow of oil to the sliding surfaces of the bar and chain links, as well as the rivets and driver holes, potentially reducing bar oil consumption by up to 50%.
- Side Access Chain Tensioner: This user-friendly feature allows for convenient chain adjustment using a bar wrench, as opposed to the standard guide bar adjustment screw location.
- Stihl Elastostart: The exclusive ElastoStart™ starter handle incorporates a built-in shock absorber, significantly reducing the effort required to pull the starter cord. It smooths out the sudden peak forces typically experienced during cranking, improving the overall starting experience.
- Adjustable Automatic Oiler: The Adjustable Automatic Oiler permits users to customize the lubrication levels for the guide bar and saw chain, catering to different bar lengths and cutting conditions.
- Pre-Separation Air Filtration System: This innovative technology enhances the engine's filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings. By utilizing centrifugal force, it separates heavier dirt particles from incoming air, redirecting them away from the air filter. This results in less dirt being captured by the air filter, reducing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance.
- Stihl M-Tronic: This product is equipped with M-Tronic™ (M), representing a cutting-edge Intelligent Engine Management system that eliminates the need for low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws. It autonomously compensates for dirty air filters, elevation changes, and variations in fuel quality, ensuring optimum engine power under all conditions.
- Master Control Lever: A user-friendly single lever controls the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. Prior to shifting the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position, the operator must activate the throttle trigger.
- Reduced-Emission Engine Technology – Caring for Nature: STIHL's "Caring for Nature" seal denotes its commitment to environmentally conscious powered products, producing zero or low exhaust emissions cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
- Anti-Vibration System: Developed to minimize vibration levels in handheld outdoor power equipment, STIHL's anti-vibration system aids in reducing operator fatigue and ensures a more comfortable working experience.
- Decompression Valve: The decompression valve, or 'deco' valve, eases compression within the cylinder during startup, making rope-pulling for ignition much more effortless. It is manually opened and closes automatically when the engine fires.
- Stihl Quickstop: STIHL chainsaws feature a chain-stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury during certain kickback scenarios. Known as the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, it stops chain rotation if activated by the operator's hand or by inertia following a powerful kickback. In specific work positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake engages via inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.
- Wrap Handle Version (R): This version features a wrap handle for added convenience.
