Stihl AutoCut C 26-2 F.A.Q.

How do I properly install the line on the Stihl AutoCut C 26-2?

To install the line, first remove the mowing head by turning it counterclockwise. Cut two pieces of line, each about 13 feet long. Insert each line into a hole on the spool, winding it tightly in the direction of the arrow. Reattach the head by turning it clockwise.

What should I do if the line keeps breaking during use?

Ensure that you are using the correct line diameter as specified by Stihl. Inspect the trimmer head for any signs of damage or wear. Avoid hitting hard surfaces and trim at half throttle to reduce stress on the line.

How can I prevent the line from tangling inside the head?

Make sure the line is wound evenly and tightly on the spool. After winding, ensure the line is properly seated in the guide slots. Avoid overfilling the spool with line.

Why is the trimmer not feeding line automatically?

Check for debris blockage in the trimmer head. Make sure the line is not too short; it should extend slightly beyond the line cutter. Inspect the spring and bump mechanism for wear or damage.

How often should I replace the trimmer line?

Replace the trimmer line when it becomes brittle, breaks frequently, or after a full season of use. Regular inspection of the line can help determine when replacement is necessary.

Can I use any type of line with the Stihl AutoCut C 26-2?

No, use only the line diameter recommended by Stihl for the AutoCut C 26-2, which is typically 0.080" or 0.095" for optimal performance and to prevent damage to the trimmer head.

What maintenance does the trimmer head require?

Regularly clean the trimmer head to remove grass and debris. Inspect for signs of wear or damage, and replace components as necessary. Lubricate moving parts to ensure smooth operation.

How do I store the trimmer head during the off-season?

Clean the trimmer head thoroughly and remove any remaining line. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ideally, store it disassembled to prevent tension on the spring and moving parts.

Why is the trimmer head vibrating excessively?

Excessive vibration can be caused by an imbalanced line or debris inside the head. Ensure the line is evenly wound and check for any lodged debris. Inspect the trimmer head for cracks or damage.

How do I troubleshoot if the trimmer head won't spin?

Check the connection between the trimmer head and the shaft for proper alignment. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the head. Inspect the drive cable and clutch for damage or wear.
