"Brains and brawn" come together in the STIHL MS 362 C-M, a well-rounded professional chainsaw engineered for peak performance. While it maintains the impressive power-to-weight ratio and fuel efficiency of the standard MS 362, this model features the advanced STIHL M-Tronic engine management system. This microprocessor-controlled technology optimizes engine performance and automatically compensates for changes in temperature, elevation, and fuel quality.
Driven by a 59.0 cc engine delivering a powerful 4.7 bhp, the MS 362 C-M ensures you are always working with optimal cutting power without the need for manual carburetor adjustments. With its refined ergonomic design and advanced filtration, it is the ultimate tool for professional loggers and arborists who face varying conditions throughout the day.
Key Features & Benefits
Intelligent Performance
- STIHL M-Tronic: A new generation of Intelligent Engine Management that eliminates manual adjustment screws, automatically compensating for dirty air filters and elevation changes for optimum power at all times.
- Pre-Separation Air Filtration System: Uses centrifugal force to eject heavier dirt particles before they reach the filter, doubling the time between required cleanings.
- IntelliCarb Compensating Carburetor: Works in tandem with M-Tronic to maintain correct engine RPM even as the air filter becomes restricted.
Effortless Starting & Convenience
- Decompression Valve: Vents compression in the cylinder during cranking to significantly reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope.
- STIHL ElastoStart: A specialized starting handle with a built-in shock absorber that smooths out the peak forces felt during cranking.
- Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps: Feature easy-to-lift levers for fast refueling and oiling by hand, with retainers to prevent cap loss.
- Side-Access Chain Tensioner: Conveniently adjust your chain tension with a bar wrench from the side of the housing.
Professional Comfort & Safety
- Anti-Vibration System: Specifically developed to minimize vibration levels, providing a more comfortable working experience and reducing operator fatigue.
- Master Control Lever: A single, easy-to-use lever that manages the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch.
- STIHL Quickstop: A chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury by stopping the chain in fractions of a second during kickback.
- Bumper Spikes: Help prevent pull-in and provide better control for more stable, easier cutting.
