Using the Mowing Heads
Do not use with mowing line longer than
the intended length. With a properly
mounted deflector, the built-in line-
limiting blade will automatically adjust
the line to its proper length.
Using the unit with an overly long nylon
cutting line increases the load on the
engine and reduces its operating speed.
This causes the clutch to slip
continuously and results in overheating
and damage to important components
(e.g. clutch, polymer housing
components.) Such damage could,
among other things, cause the cutting
attachment to rotate at idle.
Mowing heads are to be used only on
trimmers equipped with a line-limiting
blade in the deflector in order to keep the
line at the proper length (see "Main
Parts" chapter in your instruction
manual.)
If the lawn edges are planted with trees
or bordered by a fence etc., it is best to
use a nylon line head. It achieves a
"softer" cut with less risk of damaging
tree bark etc. than polymer blades.
However, the polymer-bladed STIHL
PolyCut produces a better cut if there
are no plants along the edge of the lawn.
Sharpening is not necessary, and worn
polymer blades are easily replaced.
STIHL AutoCut mowing head
Nylon cutting cord advances
automatically when tapped against the
ground (TapAction)
STIHL PolyCut mowing head 6-3
Uses nonrigid, pivoting polymer blades.
Do not continue using the PolyCut if one
of the circular holes (1; arrow) becomes
visible or if the projecting rim (2; arrow)
has worn away. Install a new mowing
head.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of severe or fatal
injury from blade contact and / or loss of
control, never attempt to use a metal
blade on this trimmer.

Warning!
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
never use wire or metal-reinforced line
or other material in place of the nylon
cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break
off and be thrown at high speed toward
the operator or bystanders.
