Saw optimized for weight and performance for work with medium-hard and hard wood, with an economical 2-MIX engine.
Oil delivery adjustment allows the saw to be adapted to prevailing external conditions.
Equipped with an HD2 air filter and a tool-free fuel filler cap closure for easier refueling.
A decompression valve allows some of the compressed mixture to be removed from the cylinder during starting.
This significantly reduces the force needed to pull the starter rope, relieving the operator and protecting the entire starting system of the device.
The STIHL two-stroke engine with 2-MIX technology provides high power while saving up to 20% fuel compared to STIHL two-stroke engines of similar power without 2-MIX technology.
Exhaust emissions are reduced by approx. 50%.
LOSS-PROTECTED NUT:
When replacing the cutting attachment, a practical sprocket cover nut with loss protection is used.
Strong vibrations transmitted through the handles of power tools can lead to vibration disease.
For this reason, STIHL developed the anti-vibration system.
In power tools equipped with the AV system, the handle areas significantly reduce the number of vibrations generated by the combustion engine and the working tool.
Cleaning the filter only becomes necessary when engine power noticeably drops.
The STIHL compensator located in the carburetor ensures that despite increasing air filter contamination, engine power, harmful exhaust content, and fuel consumption remain constant for a longer period.
This allows longer operation without the need for maintenance procedures.
The tensioning screw is turned with a special knob passing through the chainsaw sprocket cover.
This avoids hand contact with the sharp saw chain and bumper spikes.
Compression pressure causes kickback during starting of combustion engines, straining the operator's muscles and joints.
A damping element placed in the special starter handle absorbs and transmits the occurring forces according to the compression cycle, enabling smooth starting of the device without jerks.
Special, patented fuel and oil tank caps.
Tanks of power tools equipped with such caps can be quickly opened and closed - without force or any tools.
The STIHL MS 462 C-M saw is the lightest professional saw in its displacement class.
The noticeably lower weight effect was achieved through, among others: a cylinder with diagonal cooling fins, a lightweight sprocket cover, a compact engine body, optimized flywheel weight, and the lightweight ES Light STIHL guide bar.
STIHL EMATIC WITH NEW OIL DELIVERY SYSTEM:
The STIHL Ematic system with the new oil delivery system allows the amount of oil delivered to be increased as needed.
This is particularly important when working with dirty wood and with a longer guide bar.
The HD2 filter is made of polyethylene and has pores up to 70% finer compared to fleece or polyamide filters, which in practice means filtering the finest contaminant particles.
The filter is also waterproof, does not absorb oil, and can be easily cleaned.
The hermetic seal increases engine durability and reduces wear.
To facilitate plunge cutting, a marker (line) is applied to the fan grille.
This enables better direction control and more confident saw guidance when plunge cutting.
OPTIMIZED SPROCKET COVER:
A lighter, narrower, and flatter sprocket cover reduces effort when delimbing and supports efficient chip evacuation.
Better matching of the bumper spike tooth length to the radius of the cut trunk.
When connected to the STIHL Smart Connector, it records the device's operating hours, stores them, and transmits them via Bluetooth to a smartphone or tablet, provided they are within range.
STIHL connected is a cloud-based system consisting of the STIHL Smart Connector and software such as the STIHL connected app and the STIHL connected portal.
The STIHL Cloud is an online data center enabling access to data.
Device data stored in the STIHL Cloud is available through the STIHL connected app and the STIHL connected portal.
The STIHL connected Portal was developed with the needs of professional users in mind and provides information on device operating times and the locations where they were used.
With the STIHL connected portal, you can easily manage a fleet of devices, coordinate user work, and maintain control over the execution of assigned tasks.
