Description
4252 080 1802 – STIHL Fan Housing Genuine OEM Part for GS 461
The STIHL Fan Housing 4252 080 1802 is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for the GS 461 cut-off saw rewind starter assembly. This fan housing supports the recoil starter system while helping direct airflow for proper engine cooling and protection.
The fan housing plays an important role in maintaining structural integrity around the starter mechanism and flywheel area. Over time, housings may crack, warp, or become damaged due to impact, vibration, or heat exposure. A damaged fan housing can affect starter alignment, cooling efficiency, and overall equipment reliability.
Replacing the fan housing with the correct genuine STIHL OEM part restores proper starter support, cooling airflow management, and dependable machine operation.
Manufactured to STIHL factory specifications, this OEM fan housing ensures precise fitment, durability, and long-term performance under demanding professional cutting conditions.
