Description
Overview:
The Hand Guard (MPN 1142 790 9101) is a Genuine Stihl safety component for the MS 462 and MS 462 C petrol chainsaws. Made from a black, moulded high‐impact polymer, it forms a protective barrier ahead of the front handle to help shield the operator's hand from branches, flying chips and accidental contact during cutting. Built to OEM specification, it uses the original mounting points for a secure, accurate fit.
