To install the Stihl AutoCut 11-2, first ensure the trimmer is turned off and the spark plug is disconnected. Remove the current head, align the AutoCut head with the shaft, and secure it by tightening the nut or bolt as per the trimmer’s user manual.
The recommended line diameter for the Stihl AutoCut 11-2 is 2.0 mm to 2.4 mm. Using the correct line diameter ensures optimal performance and longevity of the trimmer head.
To replace the line, first remove the spool from the AutoCut head. Cut two pieces of line approximately 10 feet long, insert each line into the designated slots, and wind them in the direction indicated. Reattach the spool to the head.
If the line does not advance, check for tangles or jams in the spool. Ensure the line is wound correctly and that the spool is seated properly. Also, examine the eyelets for any blockages or wear.
The AutoCut 11-2 is compatible with most Stihl trimmers, but it's best to consult your trimmer's manual or contact Stihl support to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
To clean the AutoCut 11-2, remove the spool and wipe away grass clippings and debris with a soft brush or cloth. Check for any damage or wear and replace parts if necessary. Reassemble the head once clean.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an imbalanced line or debris buildup. Check the line for proper installation and balance, and ensure the head is clean and free of obstructions.
Uneven line wear can result from incorrect line installation or a damaged spool. Check that the line is wound evenly and replace the spool if it shows signs of damage. Also, ensure you are using the correct line diameter.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the trimmer head, inspecting for wear or damage, and replacing the line as needed. It's also important to periodically check the fastening components to ensure they are secure.
To improve performance, use quality trimmer line of the recommended diameter, regularly clean the trimmer head, and ensure all components are in good condition and properly installed.
