Stihl 16" MS162 Chainsaw

 FEATURES:   

STIHL Quickstop®

The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.

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.

Anti-Vibration System

The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.

Translucent Fuel Tank

Allows operator to easily check fuel level before starting work.

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.

Easy-Access Air Filter Cover

Effortless to remove for a fast filter cleaning or replacement.

Front Hand Guard

Designed to reduce the risk of injury.

Rear Hand Guard

Reduces the risk of injury as well as provides a wide area for foot placement during starting.

Throttle Trigger Lockout

Must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.

Spark Arrester Muffler

Has large baffles which reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.

High-Tech Polymer Housings

Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.

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.
