STIHL MS 462 R 16 In. 72.2 Cc Gas Chainsaw

The lightest STIHL professional-grade chainsaw in its class with a wrap-handle design, the MS 462 R delivers an impressive power-to-ratio that provides users with the balance of performance and comfort needed to take on a range of jobs. With the same great features as the MS 462, including the STIHL anti-vibration system, the unique bumper spike design, a slim sprocket cover, non-electronic carburetor, the MS 462 R also features a wrap-handle design that gives professional users improved comfort in certain situations, such as use with long guide bars and allows for the saw to be used in multiple positions for felling or limbing with hands in the proper positions.

Winter or Summer Shutter – The Winter/Summer Shutter allows the carburetor to operate at optimum temperature year-round and helps to prevent carburetor icing when working below 50 deg F (10 deg C)

Anti-vibration system – STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment, the STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience

Caring for Nature – Identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions, STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards

ElastoStart Starter Handle – A starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord

STIHL Quickstop Chain Brake System – a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations

Side-Access Chain Tensioner – The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw

Ematic Lubrication System – Two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes

Master Control Lever – The Master Control Lever is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch, the operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever to the choke position

Wrap Handle – Saw can be used in multiple positions for felling or limbing with hands in the proper positions

Decompression Valve – Vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. The decompression valve temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope
