STIHL FS guard

Working close to borders, gravel paths or walls can fling grass and small stones towards you. This STIHL universal guard keeps debris safely deflected so you can trim with confidence around beds, patios and tougher growth.

Designed to fit selected STIHL trimmers and brushcutters, it works with both line mowing heads and metal cutting tools, stopping clippings and chips from reaching you and falling harmlessly to the ground instead.

Made for these jobs

• Edging lawns along flowerbeds and paths
• Trimming around trees, posts and borders
• Clearing hedge and shrub cuttings with a brushcutter
• Working near gravel where stones can be ejected

Why it helps

• Reliable deflection of grass and small stones
• Works with line heads and metal blades
• Quick to mount on compatible STIHL machines
• Robust plastic shield for everyday use

In daily use

The wide Ø 342 mm shield gives solid coverage without feeling bulky on the machine. Visibility of the cutting area remains good, and cleaning the plastic guard is quick after wet or heavy growth.
