Description
Overview:
The Hand Guard for Stihl MS231 is a genuine Stihl component designed to protect the operator's leading hand and support safe chainsaw control. Manufactured from durable, impact-resistant polymer with a black finish, it forms the front hand guard on the saw and interfaces with the chain brake mechanism to help stop the chain during kickback. This OEM part, MPN 1143 792 9103, is engineered for direct fit on Stihl chainsaws, including the MS 231 and MS 251, using the original mounting points and linkage. The robust construction withstands everyday knocks, fuel and oil exposure, and outdoor conditions, making it suitable for regular professional and domestic use. Replacing a worn, cracked, or missing guard restores the intended safety function and keeps the saw in reliable working order.
