The STIHL MS 462 C-M R gas-driven emergency services saw has special features that make  rescue operations tasks quicker and more effective, especially for  emergency services. Thanks to the emergency services saw, rescue workers in fire brigades and technical assistance services can work precisely, and can even cut through  resistant materials such as sheet metal, corrugated bitumen or wire glass. With this in mind, the rescue chainsaw is equipped with an  extremely robust STIHL Rapid Duro R carbide saw chain with full coating made from impact-resistant carbide plates.

The powerful STIHL 2-MIX engine in the STIHL MS 462 C-M R  emergency services saw contributes to the tool’s impressive and  excellent power-to-weight ratio. The chainsaw is equipped with STIHL M-Tronic  fully electronic engine management for easy starting and optimum engine performance at all times. Other sophisticated features of this gas-driven chainsaw include:

• Tool-free fuel caps that enable  quick and easy filling of oil and gas.
• Quick and easy chain replacement thanks to captive nuts on the sprocket cover.
• When working in dusty conditions, the HD2 air filter with radial seal reliably protects the engine against fine dust and is easy to clean, for example using STIHL VarioClean. The combination of the HD2 air filter and a pre-separation routing system that also comes as standard on the MS 462 means you benefit from a long-life air filter system.

As an emergency services saw the STIHL MS 462 C-M R has special features including:

• a  large additional handle to make it easier to start when wearing gloves
• a further handle for  quick and easy cutting depth adjustment
• a  cutting depth limiter for controlled plunge cuts
