performance and you suspect a clogged
screen, have your muffler maintained by
a STIHL servicing dealer.
Using the Cutting Attachments
For an illustration of the various cutting
attachments and instructions on proper
mounting see the chapter on "Mounting
the Cutting Attachment" in your
instruction manual.
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 SuperCut mowing head
Fresh line is advanced automatically.
Frayed line is replaced by a simple
adjustment (see instruction sheet
supplied with mowing head).
STIHL AutoCut mowing head
Nylon cutting cord advances
automatically when tapped against the
ground (TapAction)
STIHL TrimCut mowing head
Frayed line is replaced by a simple
adjustment (see instruction sheet
supplied with mowing head).
STIHL PolyCut mowing head 20-3
Uses either nylon lines or nonrigid,
pivoting polymer blades.
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.
