Description
Overview:
The Housing Half for Stihl HS46 hedge trimmers is a genuine Stihl OEM casing section that forms one side of the main body shell. Manufactured from high‐impact moulded polymer for strength with low weight, it shields key internal parts from dirt, moisture, and knocks while helping to keep controls and fasteners correctly aligned. Designed specifically for the HS 46 and HS 46 C platforms (also used across selected HS 56 variants), this part restores the integrity of the outer body when the original shell is cracked or worn. Supplied under Stihl MPN 4242 791 1100, it is a direct-fit replacement that works with the existing screws, grommets, and mounts on your machine for a clean and accurate fit without modification.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part (MPN 4242 791 1100) for assured compatibility and fit
- Robust, impact-resistant polymer for durability with everyday site or garden use
- Protects internal mechanisms from debris, abrasion, and weather ingress
- Maintains alignment of handles, trigger, and fasteners for smooth operation
- Direct replacement using original fixings for straightforward installation
- Precisely moulded interfaces and bosses to reduce vibration and rattles
- Helps extend service life by preventing further damage to internal components
- OEM finish to match the look and specification of your hedge trimmer
