MS 362 Petrol Chainsaw

Purpose-built for high-production felling and limbing, the MS 362 C-M Light 04 couples STIHL’s fuel-saving 2-MIX engine with M-Tronic 3.0 auto-tuning, so the saw delivers full 3.5 kW output in any altitude or weather without manual carburettor tweaks. The new Light 04 bar is 200 g lighter than the previous Rollomatic E and, with narrow-kerf .325″ RS Pro chain, cuts up to 20% faster while improving front-end balance and reducing operator fatigue. A long-life pre-separation/HD2 air-filtration system plus a controlled-delivery oil pump double service intervals and can halve chain-oil consumption on shorter bars. Easy-access captive bar-nuts, flip-top bayonet caps and side Quick Chain Tensioning speed every refill or chain swap, while vibration is held to about 3.5 m/s² for comfortable all-day shifts.

Key features

• 59 cm³ 2-MIX engine (3.5 kW) – 20% less fuel and 50% lower emissions vs. older 60 cc saws.
