Product Information

Full details

The Stihl AutoCut C 26-2 is an essential accessory for homeowners and landscapers who own compatible Stihl brushcutters and want to streamline their grass trimming and edge clearing tasks. Designed for efficiency, this two-line mowing head allows for seamless line adjustment with a simple tap on the ground, ensuring continuous operation; however, it is strictly limited to specific Stihl model families and requires manual line winding to reload.

FAQs

Does this head come pre-wound with line?

Yes, it typically comes pre-wound with standard Stihl trimmer line so you can begin working immediately.

Can I use this with a battery-powered Stihl trimmer?

It is compatible with select electric models like the FSE series, but always check your specific tool manual for compatibility.

How do I wind new line?

Remove the spool from the head, wind the line into the designated channels following the directional arrows, and snap the spool back into place.

What is the maximum line diameter supported?

This head is designed for standard Stihl nylon trimmer line; consult the product packaging for the specific gauge recommended for your model.

Why is my trimmer head wearing down quickly?

Excessive contact with concrete or rough stone will accelerate wear. Try to maintain a hovering motion when trimming edges.

Troubleshooting

The line is not advancing when tapping

Check if the line has become welded to itself inside the spool due to heat, or ensure there is enough line remaining on the spool.

Excessive vibration during use

Verify that both lines are of equal length and that the spool is correctly seated inside the housing.

Line breaks frequently

Ensure you are not forcing the trimmer head into thick woody stems; trim using the very tips of the line.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly reduces downtime due to the tap-to-advance line adjustment
Excellent balance and vibration reduction during operation
Highly effective at trimming against hard surfaces like stone or concrete
Easy to disassemble for maintenance or reloading line

Cons

Not compatible with older or non-Stihl brushcutter models
Requires manual winding of new line rather than a pre-loaded cartridge system
Plastic housing can wear down over time if frequently dragged on abrasive surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your brushcutter is powered down and the spark plug wire is disconnected. Simply unscrew the existing head and thread the AutoCut C 26-2 onto the spindle. This model is compatible with Stihl models FS 38, FS 40, FS 45, FS 46, FS 50, FSE 60, FSE 71, and FSE 81. For maintenance, regularly inspect the bottom of the head for excess wear. When winding new line, ensure both sides of the spool are wound evenly in the direction indicated on the spool body to prevent tangling during the feed process.
