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.
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
polymer blades are easily replaced.
Do not continue using the mowing head
if the raised moldings (1) on the base
are missing or worn – see right
illustration above. The mowing head
may otherwise shatter and flying objects
could result in injury to the operator or
bystanders. Install a new mowing head.
Uses either nylon lines or nonrigid,
pivoting polymer 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.
Warning!
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 main-
tenance instructions supplied with the
head.
Risk of Kickout (Blade Thrust) with
All Rigid Cutting Blades
STIHL SuperCut mowing head
Fresh line is advanced automatically.
Frayed line is replaced by a simple
adjustment (see instruction sheet
supplied with mowing head.)
STIHL TrimCut mowing head
Warning!
Frayed line is replaced by a simple
adjustment (see instruction sheet
supplied with mowing head.)
If the wear limit marks are ignored, there
is a risk of the cutting attachment shat-
tering and flying parts injuring the
operator or bystanders. To reduce the
risk of accidents from shattered blades,
avoid contact with stones, metal and
similar solid objects. Check PolyCut
blades for cracks at regular intervals. If
a crack is found on one blade, always
replace all blades.
STIHL AUTOCUT mowing head
Warning!
Kickout (blade thrust) is the sudden and
uncontrolled motion towards the opera-
tor's right or rear that can occur when
the shaded area (especially the darkly
shaded area) of a rotating blade comes
in contact with a solid rigid object like a
tree, rock, bush or wall. The rapid coun-
terclockwise rotation of the blade may
be stopped or slowed, and the cutting
attachment may be thrown to the right or
to the rear.
Nylon cutting cord advances
automatically when tapped against the
ground (TapAction.)
STIHL FixCut mowing head
Uses pre-cut lengths of nylon line.
Observe wear indicators.
