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 with the polymer
blades.
STIHL "AutoCut" mowing head
Nylon cutting cord advances
automatically when tapped against the
ground.
STIHL "PolyCut" mowing head
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
grass cutting blades are easily replaced.
Uses either nylon lines or nonrigid
plastic blades.
!
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.
Important!
A damaged clutch may cause a cutting
attachment to rotate at idle speed and
increase the risk of personal injury from
loss of control and from contact with the
cutting tool.
STIHL "SuperCut" mowing head
Three rectangular 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!
Fresh line is advanced automatically.
Frayed line is replaced by a simple
adjustment (see instruction sheet
supplied with mowing head).
The STIHL SuperCut, TrimCut, AutoCut
and PolyCut mowing heads produce a
clean and tidy finish.
STIHL "TrimCut" mowing head
Frayed line is replaced by a simple
adjustment (see instruction sheet
supplied with mowing head).
They are to be used only on brush-
cutters equipped with a limiter blade in
the deflector in order to keep the line at
the proper length (see "Parts and
Controls" chapter of this manual).
