With the STIHL MS 462 C-M VW gas-driven chainsaw, forestry work is guaranteed to progress quickly, even in winter.  The weight-optimised gas chainsaw for forestry applications weighs just 6.1 kg in total. It is exceptionally light and  can withstand frosty temperatures thanks to heated handles and carburettor. The electric heated handles on this professional power tool ensure that you have a firm grip on the chainsaw even in cold weather. The electrically heated carburettor with temperature-dependent on-and-off control prevents the carburettor from icing up during winter use.

The STIHL MS 462 C-M for forestry applications impresses with its powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine and  good power-to-weight ratio.  The fully electronic STIHL M-Tronic engine management system supports straightforward starting and  optimum engine performance at all times.

The STIHL MS 462 C-M VW also has a number of other sophisticated features:

• Tool-free fuel caps that enable  quick and easy filling of oil and gas.
• Quick and easy chain replacement thanks to captive nuts on the sprocket cover.
• When working in dusty conditions, the HD2 air filter with radial seal reliably protects the engine against fine dust and is easy to clean, for example using STIHL VarioClean. The combination of the HD2 air filter and a pre-separation routing system that also comes as standard on the MS 462 means you benefit from a long-life air filter system.
