With the STIHL universal guard for FS 500 and FS 550, you can prevent grass and stones from being flung in your direction as you work. These are caught by the plastic screen and then fall to the ground. For example, small stones may be loosened along with the grass when trimming lawn edges along beds or house walls. When this happens they can be flung upwards by the rotating cutting tool along with the grass clippings.
The universal guard is designed to be easily attached to your STIHL petrol-driven brushcutter. Whether you are working with a line mowing head or a grass-cutting blade, The STIHL universal guard for FS 500 and FS 550 protects you while you complete gardening work.
