M-Tronic: Cold start. Warm start. Perfect start.

The new STIHL MS 362 C-M Chainsaw

The STIHL MS 362 C-M Chainsaw offers professionals outstanding performance right from the word go. No matter if you're just starting up, working away or restarting your Chainsaw after a break, M-Tronic takes perfect control of ignition timing and fuel quantity whatever the operating status, and with electronic precision. It even takes account of external conditions like temperature, elevation and fuel quality. Letting you get off to a perfect start so you can concentrate on the job at hand – whether you're felling, pruning or bucking.

M-Tronic technology

The cornerstone of M-Tronic technology is its control unit featuring a microprocessor, electronic temperature recognition and ignition system. The microprocessor represents the "brains" of M-Tronic. All relevant information on the status of the tool feeds into this. The result: an electronically precise supply of fuel – taking operating status and external conditions into account –this means you are guaranteed optimal engine performance. It also saves you time and energy as you no longer have to worry about manual carburettor adjustments.

Combi-lever with stop button function

Because M-Tronic can electronically distinguish between a cold or warm start, there only needs to be one start position on the combi-lever. The exact amount of fuel is always provided. There is also no need for you to be aware of your Chainsaw's operating status, as you can power up to full speed straight away – even from a cold start. After the saw is turned off, the control lever immediately moves back into the operating position. Meaning the tool, once warmed up, can be restarted any time.

No more manual carburettor adjustments

Gone is the time spent adjusting your power tool's carburettor with the M-Tronic system electronically adjusting the fuel/air mix. At the nerve centre of the M-Tronic ‘brain', a multi-functioning controller automatically adjusts the engine's carburettor settings via a network of microprocessors and solenoid valves. The system consistently monitors whether the engine is at start, idle, partial or full load, and also accounts for external conditions, setting the mix to save user adjustments and time.

Micro-switch

The micro-switch registers the position of the choke and, in conjunction with electronic temperature recognition, ensures superb starting.

Excellent acceleration

Users will appreciate another characteristic of the STIHL M-Tronic engine: its spontaneous acceleration and consistent maximum speed. Those great characteristics are the result of the electronic ignition timing and fuel metering system, and mean you can power on the work immediately - even from a cold start.

Memory function

What makes M-Tronic technology really clever is the memory function that remembers settings from the last time the power tool was used. Settings are saved on an electronic chip and restored when the power tool re-starts its work. That means when external conditions are the same, full engine performance is at your disposal after every new start – saving you time and getting the job done faster.
