Description

MS 162 petrol chainsaw: ideal for processing wood in home gardens

The STIHL MS 162 petrol chainsaw is a reliable petrol chainsaw for homeowners. Whether you are processing firewood, pruning or felling small trees, the MS 162 is an ideal entry-level choice that packs enough power to get the job done.

Powered by a STIHL 2-MIX engine, the MS 162 has great cutting performance and low fuel consumption. It’s fitted with a 12” guide bar and 3/8″ P saw chain which has high cutting performance thanks to the narrow kerf. The STIHL anti-vibration system reduces transmission of vibrations to the handle, which relieves strain on your muscles and joints. The MS 162 has single-lever operation and is effortless to restart after interruptions thanks to the combi-lever. It’s also fitted with a transparent fuel and oil tank, so you can clearly see when the chainsaw needs a fuel or oil top up. Re-tensioning the chain is safe and easy to do too, thanks to the practical side-mounted chain tensioning.

SIMPLIFIED OPERATION. Only one start position is required on the combi lever. Thanks to the stop function, once the machine is turned off the control lever immediately moves back into the operating position. This allows a warm machine to be restarted immediately.

FOR SIMPLE AND SECURE RE-TENSIONING. Side-mounted chain tensioning allows for protected, easy and quick chain tensioning and replacement. The tensioning screw is inserted laterally through the sprocket cover.

HIGHLY POWER-EFFICIENT. With the STIHL 2-MIX engine, you can reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, and therefore operating costs. This 2-stroke engine is low-maintenance and uses fuel efficiently even at high power levels. Use a mixture of petrol and engine oil as fuel. The STIHL 2-MIX engine complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.

FOR MORE PLEASANT WORK. Vibrations can occur when you put your tools through their paces, and these are particularly noticeable in the grip area. The buffer and spring elements of the STIHL anti-vibration system reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area and therefore to your body. The result is that your tool is more comfortable to hold and your work is much less tiring.

REDUCED MAINTENANCE. The compensator is a control system in the carburettor, which uses pressure compensation to ensure that engine performance, exhaust gas quality and fuel consumption remain virtually constant over a long period of time, despite increasing contamination of the air filter. You do not need to clean the air filter until there is a noticeable drop in performance. This means that you can work for a long time without maintenance.

Thanks to the soft grip on the control handle, the chainsaw sits comfortably in the hand and can be operated safely. In addition, the users grip is improved by the soft material, which helps when using the chainsaw in wet conditions.

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 across a broad rpm range.

3 reviews for Stihl MS 162 Petrol Chainsaw 12″ Bar

  1. Darren M –

    I’m really impressed with this chainsaw. It’s lightweight but still feels sturdy, which makes it perfect for handling jobs around the garden without feeling too heavy. The 12″ bar is great for cutting through logs and branches with ease and starting it up is surprisingly simple compared to other chainsaws I’ve owned. I’ve used it a few times now, and it hasn’t let me down. Highly recommend

  2. Sarah H. (Devon) –

    Brilliant little chainsaw! I got this for tidying up my overgrown hedges and cutting firewood, and it’s done a cracking job so far. The petrol engine is powerful enough for my needs, and it doesn’t drink fuel like some others I’ve tried. The Stihl brand never disappoints, and this model is no exception. It’s well worth the money for anyone who wants something dependable and easy to use.

  3. Dave R. (Nottingham) –

    Bought the MS 162 for some DIY work around the allotment, and I’m chuffed to bits with it. It’s compact, easy to manoeuvre, and cuts cleanly without a fuss. The 12 inch bar is the perfect size for smaller jobs, but it still handles thicker branches well. Starts on the first pull most of the time, which is a huge bonus. Proper bit of kit for any garden enthusiast!
