Details

The STIHL MS 162 is an affordable Chainsaw designed for a variety of tasks, from cutting firewood to small tree felling. The MS 162 is an excellent choice for home users seeking a high quality and reliable Chainsaw at an entry-level price. The MS 170 was a STIHL favorite for many years. This is an equivalent model with updated modern features.

Experience the power of the advanced STIHL 2-MIX engine that delivers not just exceptional cutting but also operates with impressive fuel economy. Equipped with a 14-inch guide bar and a 3/8" P saw chain, the MS 162 offers high cutting performance with a narrow kerf for precise work.

Say goodbye to fatigue with the STIHL anti-vibration system, engineered to significantly reduce vibrations, providing more comfortable and less strenuous operation. The intuitive single-lever control and the convenient combi-lever enable effortless restarts, minimizing downtime during your tasks.

The transparent fuel and oil tanks on the MS 162 provide at-a-glance monitoring, ensuring you are always ready to refuel or top up the oil without guesswork. And with the side-mounted chain tensioning feature, adjusting the chain is not only safe but incredibly simple, letting you get back to work with confidence.

The MS 162 comes with a domestic 2-year warranty and you'll have access to ongoing service and support from your local STIHL SHOP.

NOTE:

Your Chainsaw will require engine oil and bar lube. We recommend STIHL HP ULTRA TWO STROKE ENGINE OIL and STIHL SYNTH PLUS CHAIN LUBRICATION for your machine.

This Chainsaw is supplied with: Powerhead, bar, Chain & Scabbard.

Features

Features

Anti-vibration System

Vibrations from power tools can lead to negative effects on blood vessels. STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the levels. This also helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
Chain Lubrication System

A reservoir holds bar oil until it is picked up by the passing chain. This achieves maximum lubrication resulting in longer wear and less oil consumption.

Single Master Control Lever

Only one start position is required on the combi lever. Due to the stop function, once the machine is turned off the control lever immediately moves back to the operating position. This allows a warm machine to be restarted immediately.
STIHL 2-Mix Engine

Our 2-stroke engines combine a high-performance cylinder with a streamlined combustion process to deliver outstanding power, reduced fuel consumption, and significantly lower exhaust emissions.

Side Chain Tensioner

The tensioning screw can be found on the side of the Chainsaw through the SPROCKIT cover. This means you don't need to come into contact with the chain.
Transparent Fuel & Oil Tank

Allows the operator to easily check the fuel level before starting work.

Compensator

Automatically adjusts the fuel mix as the air filter clogs, maintaining proper engine RPM. This keeps the engine running smoothly even with a dirty air filter.
Advanced Combustion Technology

Four overflow channels swirl the fuel-air mix before ignition, allowing for optimum combustion. The result is lower fuel consumption and high torque across a broad rmp range.
