The STIHL MS 462 C-M is the lightest high-performance chainsaw in its class, built for forestry professionals who need a combination of reliability, precision and power. With its strong 4.4 kW output and rapid acceleration, it’s an ideal saw for felling, pruning and processing medium to large trees.
 
Fitted with a STIHL 2-MIX engine and advanced M-Tronic engine management, the MS 462 C-M automatically adjusts ignition timing and fuel delivery to suit operating conditions such as temperature, altitude and fuel quality. This ensures consistent power and easy starting, with only one start position needed on the combi lever and a stop function that resets automatically for quick restarts. A decompression valve also makes starting noticeably easier by reducing resistance on the starter cord.
 
The saw’s low weight and balanced design make it easy to handle, while the optimised sprocket cover improves chip ejection and makes de-limbing more efficient. Gyroscopic forces are reduced during acceleration, giving you precise control in demanding forestry work. The STIHL anti-vibration system further improves comfort, minimising fatigue during long sessions.
 
Durability is supported by a long-life HD2 air filter, which is oil- and water-repellent and keeps even fine dust away from the engine. Combined with pre-separation routing and a compensator that maintains engine performance even as the filter becomes dirty, maintenance intervals are extended. When cleaning or replacing the filter is required, the process is quick and tool-free.
 
Everyday use is made easier with side-mounted chain tensioning, captive nuts on the sprocket cover to prevent loss during servicing, and tool-free bayonet fuel and oil caps. The STIHL Ematic lubrication system with controlled-delivery oil pump ensures precise chain lubrication while reducing oil consumption, with the option to increase flow when using longer guide bars or working in tough conditions. Additional features such as plunge cutting aids, redesigned bumper spikes for a firmer bite into wood, and convenient calibration for changing environments make the MS 462 C-M a truly versatile forestry saw.
 
With its powerful engine, lightweight construction and professional-grade features, the MS 462 C-M delivers the performance forestry workers can rely on for heavy-duty cutting tasks.
