STIHL PolyCut mowing head
Uses either nylon lines or nonrigid, 
pivoting polymer blades.
!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 
maintenance instructions supplied with 
the head.
STIHL FixCut mowing head
Uses pre-cut lengths of nylon line. 
Observe wear indicators.
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.
Risk of Kickout (Blade Thrust)
with All Rigid Cutting Blades
!Warning!
Kickout (blade thrust) is the sudden and 
uncontrolled motion towards the 
operator'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 
counterclockwise rotation of the blade 
may be stopped or slowed, and the 
cutting attachment may be thrown to the 
right or to the rear.
This kickout (blade thrust) may cause 
loss of control of the power tool and may 
result in serious or fatal injury to the 
operator or bystanders. To reduce the 
risk of injury, extreme caution should be 
used when cutting with the shaded area 
of any rigid blade.
