Overview:
The Blower Guard/Screen 4229 706 8000 is a genuine Stihl intake guard for selected handheld petrol blowers and shredder vacs, including BG45 and BG46. Moulded from durable black plastic with a vented grille, it covers the fan intake to keep leaves, twigs, and debris out of the blower housing while maintaining smooth airflow.
