manual abstract
Using the mowing heads Do not use with mowing line longer than the intended diameter. With a properly mounted guard, the built-in cutter will automatically adjust the line to its proper length. Overly long lines can overload the engine, resulting in damage to the clutch mechanism and nearby parts. FS 120, FS 200, FS 250 English 000BA015 KN A damaged clutch may cause a cutting attachment to rotate at idle speed and increase the risk of personal injury from loss of control and from contact with the cutting tool. The STIHL SuperCut, AutoCut, TrimCut and PolyCut mowing heads produce a clean and tidy finish. They are to be used only on brush- cutters equipped with a limiter blade in the deflector in order to keep the line at the proper length ( see " Parts and Controls" chapter of this 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 with the 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 grass cutting blades are easily replaced. ! 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. 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 TrimCut mowing head 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. 002BA177 KN STIHL PolyCut mowing head Uses either nylon lines or nonrigid plastic blades. Important! 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! FS 120, FS 200, FS 250 FS 120, FS 200, FS 250 15 English Using the grass cutting blade All kinds of grass and weeds can be easily cut with the grass cutting blade. The brushcutter is swept in an arc similar to a scythe. !Warning! To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury never attempt to cut woody materials. The 4-tooth grass cutting blade is intended to cut grass and weeds. It has 4 cutting knives with cutting edges on both sides, i.e. front and rear. The 8-tooth grass cutting blade is recommended for cutting fern or reed. Both blades have to be resharpened when all cutting edges are dull. Using the brush knife When fitted to the brushcutter, the brush knife is suitable for applications ranging from cutting matted grass to clearing weeds, wild growth and scrub. To cut wild growth and scrub, lower the rotating brush knife down onto the growth to achieve a chopping effect. Use the brushcutter like a scythe to cut grass, i.e. sweep it to and for in an arc. !Warning! When cutting woody materials, use the left side of the blade to avoid "kickout" (blade thrust) situations. !Warning! Improper use of a brush knife may cause it to crack, chip or shatter. Thrown parts may seriously injure the operator or bystanders. To reduce the risk of personal injury it is essential to take the following precautions: Avoid contact with hard or solid foreign objects such as stones, rocks or pieces of metal. Never cut wood or shrubs with a stem diameter of more than 2 cm - use a circular saw blade for such work. Inspect the brush knife at regular short intervals for signs of damage. Do not continue working with a damaged brush knife. Resharpen the brush knife regularly (when it has dulled noticeably). !Warning! When cutting young saplings or other woody materials up to 2 cm in diameter, use left side of the blade to avoid "kickout" situations (see appropriate section in this manual). Do not attempt to cut woody material with a larger diameter, since the blade may catch or jerk the brushcutter forward. This may cause damage to the blade or brushcutter or loss of control of the brushcutter, resulting in personal injury. 000BA020 KN 002BA066 KN Eng lis h 000BA016 KN Using the circular saw blade Circular saw blades are suitable for thinning brush and cutting small trees up to a diameter of 4 cm. Do not attempt to cut trees with larger diameters, since the blade may catch or jerk the brushcutter forward. This may cause damage to the blade or loss of control of the brushcutter which may result in serious injury. 000BA012 KN When the brushcutter with circular saw blade is used to cut down small trees, STIHL recommends that the standard deflector be removed and replaced by the special " stop" (see chapter "circular saw blade" for mou...
