Literature

The MS 362 has an optimum combination of torque, power, and weight.

For all your tree felling, bucking, de-limbing, and other thinning operations, turn to the MS 362 chainsaw. With its reduced weight and large fuel capacity, this saw mixes great power with fuel efficiency. Its advanced engine technology reduces exhaust emissions to provide you with a dependable tool for the jobsite. The MS 362 also runs longer between filter cleaning and features a lifetime air filter that you do not need to replace—just keep clean. The MS 362 is a no-fuss, hardworking chainsaw that will satisfy any professional tree or forestry personnel as well as firewood cutters.

Features:

• STIHL ElastoStart™ - 

  The ElastoStart™ starter handle is an exclusive feature of STIHL. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The ElastoStart™ 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.

• IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor - 

  The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the “dirty” side of the air box.

• Bumper Spikes - 

  These spikes prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.

• Decompression Valve - 

  The decompression valve, also referred to as 'deco' or 'deco valve', vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. The decompression valve temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope. It is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires.

• Pre-Separation Air Filtration System - 

  This time-saving technology boosts the efficiency of the engine’s filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings. Air drawn into the engine is first separated via centrifugal force, ejecting the heavier dirt particles before being routed to the air filter. This pre-separation means less dirt to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance.

• Side-Access Chain Tensioner - 

  The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.

• Master Control Lever™ - 

  The Master Control Lever™ is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.

• Anti-Vibration System - 

  STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.

• Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers - 

  Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten. There’s no need to use a tool to tighten or loosen.

• Throttle Trigger Lock -
