This saw offers the MS 362's optimum combination of torque, power and weight, as well as a wrap-around handle for use in multiple positions.With fuel-efficient, low exhaust emission engine technology, the STIHL MS 362 R C-M professional chainsaw is engineered to save you time and money by using up to 20% less fuel as compared to previous models. With the pre-separation air filtration system, you will have fewer filter changes and longer run times. The advanced anti-vibration system allows you to keep working comfortably for longer periods during most applications, including logging, thinning, arbor work, and large woodcutting jobs. All this, plus 70% lower exhaust emissions when compared to previous models, makes the MS 362 R C-M an ideal choice for professionals and serious users.
Features may include:
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.
Bumper Spikes- These spikes prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.
Decompression Valve- The decompression valve, also referred to as 'deco' or 'deco 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. It is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires.
IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor- The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the “dirty” side of the air box.
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.
