Description
Overview:
The Cover Washer is a genuine Stihl metal component used in the cutting attachment and guard assemblies of professional clearing saws such as the FS 360 and FS 420. It helps distribute clamping force from fasteners, keeps mating parts seated correctly, and supports smooth, reliable operation under vibration and load. Built from durable metal for long service life, it restores the correct stack-up when a washer is worn, deformed, or lost.
