Description:

Designed exclusively for specially trained fire, rescue, and emergency personnel, the STIHL® MS 462 R C-M Rescue features the remarkable OILOMATIC® STIHL RAPID™ Duro Rescue Chain (RDR) capable of cutting through glass, sheet metal, roofing, wood, and a wide variety of other materials encountered during rescue operations. Not only is the STIHL® MS 462 R C-M Rescue lightweight, it also features an anti-vibration system, adjustable automatic oiler, and buffer mounts to help reduce operator fatigue. A depth limiter allows for rapid, depth-controlled cutting in the toughest of applications—such as roof venting and technical entry—while a muffler guard plate limits debris accumulation on the muffler. The extra-large ElastoStart™ handle enables easier starting while wearing large protective gloves. When seconds count, professional emergency personnel count on STIHL®.

Features:

• MS-Wrap Handle (R) – Allows for use in multiple positions during felling or limbing while keeping hands in proper working alignment.
• STIHL ElastoStart™ – A unique starter grip with an integrated shock absorber that reduces the effort required to pull the starter cord by smoothing out peak compression forces during cranking.
• STIHL M-Tronic™ – A next-generation intelligent engine management system that eliminates the need for manual carburetor adjustments and automatically compensates for changes in elevation, fuel quality, and air filter cleanliness to maintain optimal engine performance.
• Ematic™ Lubrication System – When used with the STIHL OILOMATIC® chain, the Ematic™ guide bar ensures efficient lubrication while reducing oil consumption by up to 50%. Special ramps direct oil precisely to key areas, minimizing waste.
• Decompression Valve – Also known as a "deco valve," it manually vents cylinder pressure during starting for reduced effort and automatically closes upon ignition.
• Adjustable Automatic Oiler – Enables users to fine-tune oil flow to the guide bar and chain, depending on bar length and cutting conditions.
• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers – Easy-to-open caps with built-in levers—no tools required for tightening or loosening.
• Pre-Separation Air Filtration System – Extends air filter life by using centrifugal force to eject large debris before it reaches the air filter, resulting in longer service intervals.
• Side-Access Chain Tensioner – Conveniently located tensioner allows for quick chain adjustments with a bar wrench, avoiding the need to access the front of the saw.
• STIHL Anti-Vibration System – Significantly reduces vibration levels to the operator’s hands and arms, improving comfort and reducing fatigue during extended use.
• Master Control Lever™ – A user-friendly, single-lever system that integrates choke, throttle lock, and on/off control. The throttle trigger must be pulled to engage the choke, enhancing starting safety.
• Throttle Trigger Interlock – A safety mechanism requiring engagement before the throttle trigger can be activated, preventing accidental acceleration.
• High-Tech Polymer Housings – Durable, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant housing materials built to withstand demanding conditions.
