STIHL MS 462 C-M Lightweight Professional Gas Chainsaw (72.2cc) - 20"

The STIHL MS 462 C-M is a professional gas chainsaw built for foresters, landscapers, and tree-care crews who need strong cutting power without carrying extra weight through a full day's work.

One of the lightest saws in its power class

A power head weighing roughly 13.5 lb keeps the MS 462 C-M easier to handle than many saws with similar output, reducing fatigue during extended felling and delimbing sessions.

Fully electronic engine management

M-Tronic technology automatically adjusts ignition and fuel delivery to conditions such as altitude and fuel quality, keeping the 72.2cc engine running at its best without manual tuning.

Comfort and reliability in the field

An anti-vibration system reduces fatigue on long shifts, a long-life HD2 air filter extends time between cleanings, and a manual decompression valve makes pull-starting easier.
