Do not continue using the PolyCut if one
of the circular holes (1; arrow) becomes
visible or if the projecting rim (2; arrow)
has worn away. Install a new mowing
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.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
nonroad engine repair establishment or
individual. However, if you make a
warranty claim for a component which
has not been serviced or maintained
properly or if nonapproved replacement
parts were used, STIHL may deny
coverage.
Strictly follow the maintenance and
repair instructions in the appropriate
sections of your instruction manual.
Warning!
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.

Warning!
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or
fatal injury.
Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure
that the cutting attachment is stopped
before doing any maintenance or repair
work or cleaning the power tool. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in your instruction man-
ual. Have such work performed by your
STIHL servicing dealer only.
Warning!
Use the specified spark plug, and make
sure it and the ignition lead are always
clean and in good condition. Always
press the spark plug boot snugly onto
the spark plug terminal of the proper
size. (Note: If the terminal has a detach-
able SAE adapter nut, it must be
securely attached). A loose connection
between the spark plug and the ignition
wire connector in the boot may create
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
Warning!
Never test the ignition system with the
spark plug boot removed from the spark
plug or with a removed spark plug, since
uncontained sparking may cause a fire.
