Description
Overview:
This set of annular buffers is a genuine Stihl spare (MPN 4242 007 1000) for the anti-vibration system on Stihl hedge trimmers. Each buffer is made from tough, fuel- and oil-resistant elastomer rubber that sits between key assemblies to isolate engine and cutting vibrations. By absorbing shock loads, the buffers help protect housings, mounts and fasteners, and keep the machine running smoothly under regular use. Fitting fresh buffers reduces hand-arm vibration, improves control, and supports the long-term reliability of the tool. Ideal for routine servicing or repair, the set is designed for the Stihl HS 46 and HS 46 C hedge trimmers, and the wider HS 46/HS 56 family. A correct, genuine fit helps maintain performance and prolong overall machine life.
