Description
Overview:
The Limit Stop for Stihl HS81R and HS81RC hedge trimmers is a genuine Stihl OEM spare part designed to control the end of travel of the blade drive mechanism. Supplied under MPN 4237 792 9400, it is a hard‐wearing buffer made from a durable polymer/rubber compound that absorbs impact at full stroke. By preventing overextension and metal‐to‐metal contact, it reduces shock, vibration and premature wear on gears, linkages and housings. This small component plays a key role in keeping professional and domestic petrol hedge cutters operating smoothly and safely. It is engineered for accurate fitment in the relevant Stihl HS series gear housing and is straightforward to replace during routine servicing to restore crisp, controlled cutting performance.

- Prevents over-travel of the blade mechanism to protect drivetrain parts
- Tough rubber/polymer buffer for long service life under repeated impact
- Reduces vibration and harsh end-stop noise for better cutting control
- Helps extend the life of gears, linkages and housings by cushioning impact
