The STIHL MS 162 petrol chainsaw is a reliable, basic device for work around the home. Whether it is firewood or pruning fruit trees, the STIHL MS 162 is a light and durable chainsaw that is suitable for occasional use in a very wide range of applications. With this reliable chainsaw, you can also fell smaller trees.
The efficient and powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine is part of the optimally tuned STIHL MS 162 system. It provides good cutting performance with low fuel consumption. Precise cuts can be achieved with the standardly mounted 3/8" P saw chain with a narrow kerf. The chainsaw runs smoothly and quietly: the STIHL anti-vibration system reduces the transmission of vibrations to the handle, thereby relieving muscles and joints.
Single-lever operation makes all functions very easy to use: only one hand is needed to start, work, and stop the device. Moreover, after a short break in work, the device can be restarted without difficulty because the combination lever with the STOP function automatically returns to the working position.
Full control of tank filling.
Thanks to the transparent tank, you have a full view of the oil level.
Oil can be topped up quickly and conveniently.
The STIHL two-stroke engine in 2-MIX technology provides high power while saving up to 20% fuel consumption compared to STIHL two-stroke engines of similar power without 2-MIX technology.
Exhaust emissions drop by approx. 50%.
In four transfer channels, the fuel-air mixture is swirled before ignition.
This ensures better fuel combustion and significantly increases engine efficiency.
Result: lower fuel consumption and high torque over a wide speed range.
Strong vibrations transmitted through the handles of mechanical devices can lead to vibration disease.
For this reason, STIHL developed the anti-vibration system.
In mechanical devices 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 the engine power clearly drops.
The STIHL compensator located in the carburetor ensures that despite increasing dirt on the air filter, engine power, harmful substance content in the exhaust, and fuel consumption remain constant for a longer time.
This allows longer work without the need for maintenance work.
The tensioning screw is turned with a special knob that passes through the cover of the saw chain drive sprocket.
This makes it possible to avoid hand contact with the sharp saw chain and the sharp teeth of the bumper spike.
Only one starting position is needed on the combination lever.
Thanks to the Stop function, the lever automatically returns to the working position after switching off.
This allows the warm device to be started immediately.
