Mowing Head with Nylon Lines
Nylon line achieves a soft cut for edging 
and trimming around trees, fence posts, 
etc. – less risk of damaging tree bark.
To reduce the risk of injury, never use 
steel wire in place of the nylon cutting 
line.
STIHL Polycut Mowing Head with 
Polymer Blades
For mowing unobstructed edges of 
meadows (without posts, fences, trees 
or similar obstacles).
Check the wear limit marks!
If one of the wear limit marks on the 
PolyCut mowing head is worn through 
(arrow): Do not continue using the 
mowing head. Install a new one. There 
is otherwise a risk of injury from thrown 
parts of the head.
It is important to follow the maintenance 
instructions for the Polycut mowing 
head.
Risk of Kickout (Blade Thrust) with Metal 
Cutting Attachments
When using metal cutting attachments 
(grass cutting blade, brush knife, 
shredder blade, circular saw blade) 
there is a risk of kickout when the 
rotating blade comes into contact with a 
solid object such as a tree trunk, branch, 
tree stump, rock or similar. The machine 
is thrown to the right or to the rear – 
opposite to the attachment's direction of 
rotation.
The risk of kickout is greatest when the 
black area of the rotating cutting 
attachment comes into contact with a 
solid object.
Grass Cutting Blade
Use for grass and weeds only – sweep 
the brushcutter in an arc like a scythe.
Improper use may damage the grass 
cutting blade – risk of injury from thrown 
parts.
