2024 STIHL Chainsaws MS 462 R

Lightweight, professional chainsaw with wrap handle featuring a standard adjustable carburetor.

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.

Features may include:

• Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten. There’s no need to use a tool to tighten or loosen.

• Unique bumper spike design ensures pros can expect optimal performance regardless of what species of tree they're cutting.

• Lightweight sprocket cover with captive bar nuts

• When used with STIHL OILOMATIC ® saw chain and STIHL Ematic ™ guide bars, the high output oiler can supply additional lubrication if needed for longer guide bars and/or dry/dusty cutting conditions.

• The HD2 air filter on this unit is washable, providing extremely long filter life and lowering maintenance costs. The large surface area allows for longer run times between cleanings and high performance even while operating in dusty and dry conditions. Overall, the HD2 air filter provides better protection of the engine compared to standard air filters.
