How to Refill the Nylon Line in a AutoCut C 6-2

REFILLING A STIHL AUTOCUT C 6-2

The AutoCut C 6-2 is the standard cutting attachment for domestic weed eaters. We generally recommend the STIHL 2mm green nylon line for this head it can take up to 4m, but you can also use the 2.4 mm orange nylon line.

Follow the video below for instructions on how to reload your mowing line.

1. 1. Align the arrow on top of the head with the arrows on either side of the white cover.
2. 2. Take one end of the line and push it into the eyelet.
3. 3. Keep pushing until it comes out the other side of the head.
4. 4. Pull the line half way through so that you have half the length of the trimmer line on either side of the head.
5. 5. Grip the head and turn the white ring in the direction of the arrows to wind up the trimmer line into the head.
6. 6. Leave around 10-12 cm of line each side; trim any excess line.

IS YOUR NYLON LINE BRITTLE & HARD TO WORK WITH?

When Nylon Line is stored it can become brittle and difficult to work with, we recommend soaking the new mowing line in water for at least 24 hours before loading it in your Grass Trimmer. Hydrating the nylon line increases its elasticity. You can keep the mowing line wrapped around the reel and place it directly into the water.
