STIHL GB | How To Replace The Plastic Blades or Add Mowing Line To A PolyCut 2-2 or 3-2 Mowing Head | STIHL GB @STIHLGB | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
In this video, you will learn how to replace the plastic blades and how to add mowing line to a PolyCut 2-2 or 3-2 mowing head. The process for both the PolyCut 2-2 and PolyCut 3-2 are the same but you will find the mowing heads look slightly different.
Step by step guide:
🔶 The first, and most important step, is to make sure you remove the safety key on the side of the machine. This will remove the risk of the machine turning on whilst you are working on it.
🔶 Prop the machine up so you have access to the mowing head and assess the plastic blades
🔶 If the plastic blades are worn on one side then you can rotate them to even up the wear on both sides. If both sides are worn then you will need to replace the blades. To do this, slide the worn blade off and hook the new plastic blade on and click it into place. Repeat this process until all the worn blades have been replaced or removed.
🔶 To replace the plastic blades with nylon mowing line, you will need approximately 10cm of blue 1.6mm nylon line for each side.
🔶 Once you have removed all of the plastic blades, take your 10cm pieces of nylon line and slide it down through the first slot. Bend the cord back on itself, poke it into the other side and pull tight on the cord.
🔶 Trim any excess line and repeat this process for the opposite side.
