Description
Overview:
This chain sprocket cover is a genuine Stihl replacement part for HT56C and HT70 pole pruners. It forms the protective outer housing over the drive sprocket and bar mount on the pruning head, helping to keep debris out and maintain safe operation. The cover is made from durable, high‐impact polymer for strength while keeping weight low. A precise fit ensures the guide bar is clamped securely and chain alignment is maintained for smooth cutting.
