Powered by a robust 30cc two-stroke engine, the MS 162 offers dependable performance. Weighing in at 4.99kg, this chainsaw strikes a balance between power and maneuverability. It comes with a 12” guide bar and a 3/8″ P saw chain, ensuring high cutting efficiency with its narrow kerf. The STIHL anti-vibration system is integrated to minimize handle vibrations, reducing strain on muscles and joints during prolonged use.
Designed with user convenience in mind, the MS 162 features single-lever operation and boasts effortless restarts after interruptions, thanks to the combi-lever. The chainsaw is equipped with a transparent fuel and oil tank for easy level monitoring, indicating when a refill is necessary. Additionally, the practical side-mounted chain tensioning mechanism ensures safe and straightforward chain re-tensioning. All of this is backed up by a two-year warranty.
2-MIX Technology
STIHL 2-MIX technology is a 2-stroke engine that replaces the unburned fuel, which would have left via the exhaust during the transfer process, with fresh air. This increases the overall efficiency of the engine and reduces exhaust emissions.
Advanced Combustion Technology
Four overflow channels swirl the fuel-air mix before ignition, allowing for optimum combustion and highly efficient performance. The result is lower fuel consumption and high torque.
Anti-Vibration Technology
STIHL have developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine’s engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles for more comfortable working conditions.
Compensator
This controller in the carburettor prevents the fuel-air mixture getting richer as the air filter becomes clogged. The correct quantity of fuel is delivered to the carburettor depending on the quantity of air passing through the air filter.
Combi Lever with Stop Function
The combi lever necessitates only a single start position. With the stop function, when the machine is powered off, the control lever promptly returns to the operational position. This feature enables the immediate restart of a warm machine.
Side Chain Tensioner
The chain tensioning screw can be found on the side of the chain saw through the sprocket cover. This removes the need for contact with the sharp saw chain.
Transparent Oil Tank
The clear oil tank provides a convenient and swift means to assess the chain oil fill level. This ensures you stay informed about when it’s necessary to replenish the chain oil, facilitating efficient and prolonged work periods.
