Adjusting Nylon Line
STIHL SuperCut
Fresh line is advanced automatically if

long. The blade on the
deflector trims overlong lines to the
correct length.
STIHL AutoCut
N
With the engine running, hold the
rotating mowing head above the
grass surface.
N
Tap it on the ground once – fresh
line is advanced and the blade on

For this reason observe the mowing
head's cutting performance during
operation. If the mowing head is tapped
on the ground too often, the line limiter
blade will unnecessarily cut off unused
lengths of nylon line.
Line feed operates only if both lines are
still at least
2.5 cm (1 in)
long.
