The STIHL MS 362 R C-M is an elite professional chainsaw engineered for versatility and high-performance. This "R" version features a wrap-around handle, allowing the saw to be used in multiple positions for felling or limbing with the operator's hands always in the proper ergonomic position. Built with advanced engine technology, it uses up to 20% less fuel and produces 70% lower exhaust emissions compared to previous models.
At the heart of this saw is the STIHL M-Tronic engine management system, which digitally monitors and automatically adjusts for changes in elevation, temperature, and fuel quality. With a 59.0 cc engine delivering 4.69 bhp, the MS 362 R C-M is the ideal choice for professionals engaged in logging, arbor work, and large woodcutting jobs where comfort and power are non-negotiable.
Key Features & Benefits
Professional Handling & Intelligence
- Wrap-Around Handle (R): Provides superior maneuverability and allows for comfortable cutting at various angles, essential for professional felling and limbing.
- STIHL M-Tronic: An intelligent engine management system that eliminates manual carburetor adjustments, ensuring optimum engine power at all times.
- Pre-Separation Air Filtration System: Centrifugal force ejects heavier dirt particles before they reach the filter, doubling the time between cleanings and extending filter life.
Effortless Starting & Maintenance
- Decompression Valve: Manually vents cylinder compression to significantly reduce the force needed to pull the starter rope.
- STIHL ElastoStart: Features a built-in shock absorber in the starter grip to minimize the "jerk" felt during cranking for a smoother start.
- Side-Access Chain Tensioner: Conveniently adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench from the side of the housing, away from the sharp chain.
- Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps: Simple lift-and-twist caps with retainers allow for fast refueling without the need for additional tools.
Advanced Comfort & Safety
- Anti-Vibration System: Minimized vibration levels reduce operator fatigue, allowing for more productive work sessions during large woodcutting tasks.
- Ematic Lubrication System: Reduces bar oil consumption by up to 50% by directing lubrication specifically to high-wear areas.
- STIHL Quickstop: An inertia-activated chain brake designed to stop the chain rotation in fractions of a second during kickback.
- High-Tech Polymer Housing: Durable, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight to keep the total powerhead weight at a manageable 13.2 lbs.
