The STIHL MS 162 is a 16-inch gas chainsaw built for homeowners and occasional use. It is light and maneuverable, with reduced exhaust emissions and an anti-vibration system for comfort during longer cutting sessions. A single Master Control Lever handles choke, throttle lock and on-off, which simplifies starting and shutdown. Against larger farm and pro saws it trades power and cutting speed for lower weight and easier handling, so it suits light storm cleanup, firewood and limb trimming rather than heavy felling.

Owner feedback on the MS 162 centers on easy starting and light weight for a gas saw. Many say it handles limbing and small firewood work well for the money. Some find it short on power in larger wood and note the usual gas-engine maintenance.
The STIHL MS 162 is a gas-powered chainsaw for homeowners and occasional use. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver, with reduced exhaust emissions and an anti-vibration system for operator comfort. It is meant for yard maintenance and cutting firewood.
The Master Control Lever operates the choke, throttle lock and on-off switch with a single lever. The STIHL Quickstop chain brake is designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It stops the chain if the operator's hand activates it or if the saw kicks back with enough force. The front and rear hand guards are also designed to reduce the risk of injury, and the rear guard gives a wide area for foot placement during starting.
The IntelliCarb compensating carburetor automatically adjusts the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partly clogged, which keeps the engine at the correct RPM. Bumper spikes prevent pull-in and give better control. The OILOMATIC saw chain has grooves that channel oil to critical wear areas. The translucent fuel tank lets the operator check the fuel level.
