Description
Overview:
This Drive Shaft is a genuine Stihl component for the HSE 42 and HSE 52 electric hedge trimmers. It is a precision metal shaft, engineered from robust steel to transmit drive from the motor to the cutting mechanism smoothly and reliably. Replacing a worn or damaged shaft restores correct power transfer to the blades, reduces noise and harshness, and helps extend the service life of the trimmer. Built to Stihl's OEM specification (4818 640 2400), it fits directly in place of the original part with no modification. Suitable for routine maintenance or repair, it is an ideal solution when drive to the cutter bar has become intermittent, noisy, or has failed outright.
