The MS 362 chainsaw plus our exclusive STIHL M-Tronic™ engine management technology.
Brains and brawn come together in this well-rounded professional chainsaw. The MS 362 C-M features the same great power, weight, and fuel efficiency as the MS 362, but also features our exclusive STIHL M-Tronic™ engine management technology. This innovative microprocessor-controlled engine management system optimizes engine performance and compensates for changes in operating conditions, such as temperature, elevation, fuel quality, and dirty air filters. It makes sure you’re working with optimal cutting power in any cutting condition.
Features
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.
STIHL M-Tronic™
This product features M-Tronic™ (M) – a new generation of Intelligent Engine Management that eliminates the low and high-speed carburetor adjustment screws, compensates for the dirty air filter and changes in elevation and fuel quality for optimum engine power at all times.
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.
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.
Reduced-Emission Engine Technology – Caring for Nature
The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
STIHL OILOMATIC Saw Chain
STIHL makes its own saw chains.
Ematic™ Bar
Includes a polymer ramp reservoir that holds bar oil until it can be picked up by a passing chain. This can reduce oil usage by up to 50%.
Bumper Spikes
They help prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cuts easier.
Spark Arrester Muffler
Has large baffles which reduce noise levels and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake System
Designed to stop the chain in fractions of a second. Can be manually activated by inertia if the kickback force is sufficient.
Front Hand Guard
Designed to reduce the risk of injury.
Front Handle
Designed for a secure grip and ergonomically angled for comfort.

High-Tech Polymer Housings
Lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
Translucent Fuel Tank
Allows operator to easily check fuel level before starting work.
Anti-vibration system
Helps reduce operator fatigue.
Electronic Ignition
Provides easier starting and smoother running.
Replaceable “In Tank” Fuel and Oil Filters

I have a new ms 362 c -m. The chain oiling is ridiculously frugal due to some “save the planet” mentality. Chain dries out and seizes on the bar cutting ash. Had to buy a high volume pump from a ms461 for another £90. Sort yourselves out Stihl or start losing customers!.
I’ve had one for over 5 yrsit is by far the worst saw you have made been in the shop 3times runs and then acts up go back to carburators. I’ve owned nothing but Stihl equipment but this one sucks
