Description
STIHL AutoCut 36-2 head: double-line mowing and thinning, auto-extend on tap, low profile, fits FS 131 & FS 240 C-E.
STIHL AutoCut 36-2
The STIHL AutoCut 36-2 mowing head is a lightweight and robust tool engineered for efficient mowing and clearing. It uses a double mowing line system for trimming and thinning work. When you tap the head on the ground, the lines automatically extend, which helps keep cutting without frequent interruptions.
Low profile for precise control
This head features a low profile that gives better control, especially near the ground or around edges. That design helps you trim more precisely and achieve cleaner results during garden maintenance.
Line compatibility and protection
The AutoCut 36-2 is compatible with 2.7 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.3 mm mowing line. It can also be used with a spool that has metal protection to increase durability and extend its service life.
Fits STIHL FS 131 & FS 240 C-E machines
This mowing head fits several STIHL models—specifically FS 131 and FS 240 C-E. If you use either of those machines, this head offers a reliable upgrade for clearing and mowing tasks.
Professional tip for longer line life
STIHL recommends soaking new mowing line in water for 12-24 hours before first use. This makes the line more flexible and less likely to break, improving its durability during trimming.
