Electrically heated handles (W)
The electrically heated handles (W) keep your hands warm and dry
for a better grip, making your work safer in winter.
No-maintenance, wear-free heating strips in the front and rear
handles can be engaged with a switch as required to make the
handle warmer and dryer.

This thread is very fitting as I am on the hunt for one. Have
tried a few overseas friends with no luck.
Thinking I need to find someone in Germany. Even the conversion
parts seem like a dead end.

One nice thing is no flywheel and generator to buy. As the 500
has both to run the control unit

right now I donot see any arctic saws on the shelves up here , I
want another 462 arctic if I can find one for this winter , I
have 2 but 3 would be better incase of problems . I was told
Stihl has a new factory being built that should be producing saw
stuff by xmas and they hope this helps getting new stihl stuff ,
Light weight bars are still quite hard for most to find up here

I ordered the heated handle stuff out of the uk. The Control
unit is back ordered they won't have it till November sometime.
Looks like i will have to take it to the dealer and get the
data transferred for the original control unit to the new one.
Then calibrate.

Thinking the only difference is the control will have 2 extra
pins in the rearward connector for the power supply to the
handles. Same connector as the on/off switch.
Only part they could not get was the cover that goes over the
heated on/off switch.
