STIHL Guard

If flying stones and clippings keep catching you while trimming, this STIHL protective guard keeps debris under control so you can work with confidence around beds, borders and paths.

Made from robust, impact-resistant plastic, the half-round shield sits behind the mowing head to catch material the moment it’s thrown out. It’s purpose-built for STIHL line heads and PolyCut heads on the FSA 60 and FSA 86, so fitment is straightforward and protection is reliable.

Where it works best

• Edging lawns along paving where grit can kick up
• Tidying around gravel drives or pathways
• Trimming near fences, walls and garden features

Why it helps

• Blocks flying debris before it reaches you
• Durable, impact-resistant plastic build
• Shaped to shield the rear of the mowing head
• Tailored fit for FSA 60 and FSA 86

In use

Once installed, the guard stays clear of the cutting area while providing a wide catchment behind the head. Visibility of the work remains good, and the lightweight construction doesn’t upset tool balance.

After fitting, spin the head at low speed first to check clearance and ensure the guard sits rigidly before trimming at full speed.
