The STIHL MS 162 Petrol Chainsaw is a reliable and easy-to-use entry-level chainsaw designed for homeowners. Ideal for cutting firewood, pruning branches and felling small trees, it combines efficient STIHL 2-MIX engine technology, low-vibration operation and straightforward handling to make garden and property maintenance easier.
The STIHL MS 162 Petrol Chainsaw is the ideal choice for homeowners looking for a dependable petrol chainsaw for occasional to regular cutting tasks around the home and garden. Compact, lightweight and easy to operate, it offers excellent performance for firewood preparation, pruning work and felling smaller trees.
Powered by a fuel-efficient STIHL 2-MIX engine, the MS 162 delivers strong cutting performance while helping to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. This advanced engine technology provides a great balance of power and efficiency, making it a practical solution for domestic woodcutting tasks.
The chainsaw is equipped with a 12″ guide bar and 3/8″ P saw chain, featuring a narrow kerf design that improves cutting efficiency and helps maximise the available engine power. This combination provides smooth cutting performance and excellent control, particularly for homeowners and less experienced users.
Designed with comfort in mind, the STIHL anti-vibration system reduces the transmission of vibrations to the handles, helping minimise fatigue and making the chainsaw more comfortable to use during longer cutting sessions.
The intuitive single-lever control system simplifies operation, while the practical combi-lever ensures quick and effortless restarting after work interruptions. Transparent fuel and chain oil tanks allow for easy monitoring of fluid levels, helping keep the saw ready for work at all times.
Maintenance is straightforward too, thanks to the side-mounted chain tensioning system, which allows fast and safe chain adjustments without working directly near the sharp cutting chain.
Whether you’re preparing logs for the fire, carrying out tree maintenance or tackling seasonal garden jobs, the STIHL MS 162 offers reliable performance, user-friendly operation and trusted STIHL quality.
