The large surface area allows for longer run times between cleanings and high performance even while operating in dusty and dry conditions. Overall, the HD2 air filter provides better protection of the engine compared to standard air filters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL ElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e – The \u003cstrong\u003eElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e starter handle is an exclusive feature of \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The \u003cstrong\u003eElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) normally felt during cranking. The forces which occur at the grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEmatic™ Lubrication System\u003c\/strong\u003e – The \u003cstrong\u003eEmatic™\u003c\/strong\u003e guide bar, when used with \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL OILOMATIC®\u003c\/strong\u003e saw chain, provides proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. Two strategically placed ramps in the guide bar rail help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links, rivets, and driver holes—reducing bar oil consumption by up to 50%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e – \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. The \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e chain brake stops the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia in the event of sufficient kickback force. In some positions, the brake can activate by inertia, stopping the chain in fractions of a second.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLightweight Portability\u003c\/strong\u003e – This product is lightweight for easy portability, great maneuverability, and extended use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHigh Output Adjustable Oiler\u003c\/strong\u003e – When used with \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL OILOMATIC®\u003c\/strong\u003e saw chain and \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Ematic™\u003c\/strong\u003e guide bars, the high output oiler can supply additional lubrication for longer guide bars or dry, dusty cutting conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWinter\/Summer Shutter\u003c\/strong\u003e – The Winter\/Summer Shutter allows the carburetor to operate at optimum temperature year-round and helps prevent carburetor icing when working below 50°F (10°C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eUnique Bumper Spike Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Unique bumper spike design ensures pros can expect optimal performance regardless of tree species.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDecompression Valve\u003c\/strong\u003e – The decompression valve vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. It temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking, reducing the effort needed to pull the starter rope. It opens manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePre-Separation Air Filtration System\u003c\/strong\u003e – This technology boosts engine filter efficiency, doubling the time between cleanings. Air drawn into the engine is first separated by centrifugal force, ejecting heavier dirt particles before reaching the air filter—resulting in less frequent maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSide-Access Chain Tensioner\u003c\/strong\u003e – The side-access chain tensioner allows convenient saw chain adjustments using a bar wrench, rather than the typical guide bar screw location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e – The \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e is an easy-to-use single lever that operates the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e to the choke position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Vibration System\u003c\/strong\u003e – \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e has developed a system that minimizes handheld equipment vibration levels. This helps reduce operator fatigue and offers a more comfortable working experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eToolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers\u003c\/strong\u003e – Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten—no tools required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThrottle Trigger Lock\u003c\/strong\u003e – See it in action!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerhead Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.2 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Guide Bar Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8\" RS3 (OILOMATIC®)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Oil Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.9 bhp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.3 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72.2 cc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STIHL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58208943079584,"sku":"MS462 25","price":1619.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/9158\/7488\/files\/c23a09b7-6ac4-4fcf-bec8-7dff331c630b.jpg?v=1784665186","url":"https:\/\/stjohnssales.com\/products\/stihl%c2%ae-ms-462","provider":"St. John's Sales and Service","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
