The R designation means a full-wrap handle for comfortable cutting from either side; it is not the Rescue model. Other bar and chain combinations are available. Ask your STIHL PRO for details. Price may vary.

The dedicated MS 462 C-M R Rescue saw remains on its own page and is not mixed into this selector.
The 36-inch option is for MS 462 C-M only: Rollomatic ES Light bar and 33 RS 114 chain, 3/8-inch pitch and .050-inch gauge. This yellow-labeled cutting attachment requires experienced users with specialized training; read STIHL’s warnings.
