<< Back to 2013 STIHL Chain Saws
2013 STIHL MS 362 C-Q
The MS 362 C-Q has the great power-to-weight ratio of the MS 362, with an additional chain braking feature. Standard on all STIHL chain saws is the STIHL Quickstop® Chain Braking System, which is designed to stop the chain within a fraction of a second to reduce the risk of injury. The chain brake is either activated by the front hand guard, or by the inertia of certain kickback situations. The additional STIHL Quickstop® Plus feature is designed to stop the chain in one second when you completely release your right hand from the rear handle.
Features
All

Bumper Spikes provide better control, making cutting easier.
Spark Arrestor Muffler has large baffles which reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake System is designed to stop the chain in fractions of a second. Can be manually activated or activated by inertia, if the kickback force is sufficient.
