STIHL FSA Brushcutter Guard - Genuine OEM Safety Deflector - 4 Variants
The STIHL Brushcutter Guard is a genuine OEM safety deflector that shields the operator from stones, twigs, grass clippings and other debris ejected during cutting work on STIHL brushcutters and strimmers. Moulded from impact-resistant, high-visibility orange polymer, it mounts directly to the factory fixing points on compatible machines, providing a stable barrier between the cutting attachment and the user. This listing covers four separate part numbers, each fitting a different group of STIHL models — select the correct variant for your machine below before ordering. Available from Gustharts, an authorised STIHL dealer with UK stock ready to ship.
⚠ Four different guards are listed here for different STIHL models. Select the correct part for your machine before ordering — fitting the wrong guard will not seat correctly or provide proper protection.
Key Features
- Genuine STIHL OEM guard — manufactured to original specification for correct fit and debris deflection geometry
- High-visibility orange impact-resistant polymer — durable construction built to withstand regular outdoor use
- Direct fit to factory mounting points — no modification required on compatible machines
- Deflects stones, twigs, grass clippings and debris — reduces operator exposure to ejected material during cutting
- Four variants covering the full FS/FSA range — from compact battery trimmers to large-displacement clearing saws
- Simple installation and maintenance — fits without tools modification; routine cleaning keeps it functioning correctly

Why a Correctly Fitted Guard Matters
The guard is not a cosmetic accessory — it's a primary safety component on any brushcutter or strimmer. During cutting, blades and trimmer line throw debris at speed in the direction of rotation; a correctly fitted guard intercepts this material before it reaches the operator's legs and lower body. Different cutting attachments — trimmer line, grass blades and metal brush blades — eject debris differently, which is why STIHL specifies different guard geometry for different attachment types rather than a single universal design. Fitting the wrong guard, or a guard not matched to your cutting attachment, leaves gaps in protection that aren't always visually obvious until debris is being thrown.
Often Replaced Alongside
- STIHL Rider Plate — required for metal blade fitment on compatible models; check compatibility with your guard variant
- STIHL Thrust Washer — standard component when fitting or replacing a metal cutting blade
- STIHL Brushcutter Blades and Trimmer Heads — replace cutting attachments alongside guard servicing

FAQs
Which guard do I need for my STIHL brushcutter?
It depends on your exact model and cutting attachment. Check the variant table above to match your model and attachment type to the correct part number. Contact Gustharts if you need confirmation.
Can I use the same guard for a trimmer head and a metal blade?
Not always. Some guards in this range are matched to a specific attachment type — for example, the 4144 710 8116 is fitted for grass blade use. Always confirm your guard matches your cutting attachment, not just your machine model.
What is the guard made from?
High-visibility orange, impact-resistant polymer, designed to withstand regular outdoor use and deflect stones, twigs and debris thrown during cutting.
Is fitting straightforward?
Yes. The guard fits directly to the factory mounting points on compatible machines without modification.
