Adjusting Nylon Line
STIHL AutoCut mowing head
: Hold the rotating mowing head 
horizontal to the ground – tap it on 
the ground – about 3cm fresh line is 
advanced.
: The blade (1) on the deflector (2) 
trims surplus line to the correct 
length. Avoid tapping the head more 
than once.
Line feed operates only if both lines 
are at least 2.5cm long.
If the nylon lines are shorter than 2.5cm: 
: Switch off the machine.
: Unplug the power cord from the 
power supply.
: Turn the machine in its back.
: Push home the cap on the spool as 
far as stop.
: Pull the ends of the nylon line out of 
the spool to the required length.
If the spool is empty, see “Replacing 
Nylon Line”.
