USING THE CUTTING
ATTACHMENTS
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.
For an illustration of the various cutting
attachments and instructions on proper
mounting see the chapter on "Mounting
the Cutting Attachments" in your
instruction manual.
!
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.
!
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.
STIHL AutoCut mowing head
Using the Mowing Heads
Nylon cutting cord advances
automatically when tapped against the
ground (TapAction)
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.
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 "Parts and
Controls" chapter in your instruction
manual).
STIHL PolyCut mowing head
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.
For mowing unobstructed edges of
meadows (without posts, fences, trees
or similar obstacles). Uses either nylon
lines or nonrigid, pivoting polymer
blades.
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.
!
Warning!
Three wear limit marks are applied to the
base (periphery) of the PolyCut. To
reduce the risk of serious injury from
breakage of the head or blades, the
PolyCut must not be used when it has
worn as far as one of these marks. It is
important to follow the maintenance
instructions supplied with the head.
