STIHL Line Spool with Stainless Steel Guard – AutoCut 36-2 / 46-2 / 56-2
The STIHL Line Spool with Stainless Steel Guard combines reliable cutting performance with added protection. It’s built specifically for use with AutoCut 36-2, 46-2, and 56-2 mowing heads, and its stainless steel guard helps resist wear when working against hard surfaces like curb edges or walls. The spool supports 2.7 mm line and offers 5.5 m per side, giving you solid runtime for precision trimming. The stainless steel shield also helps protect the spool housing from damage and improves durability in demanding mowing conditions.
Line specs & capacity
This spool uses 2.7 mm diameter line and supports a thread length of 2 × 5.5 m. That gives you plenty of cutting material before needing to reload, making it suitable for longer mowing sessions and heavier garden tasks.
Compatibility with STIHL AutoCut heads
The spool fits only the AutoCut 36-2, AutoCut 46-2, and AutoCut 56-2 mowing heads. Because it is purpose-built, you get optimal feed and alignment without compatibility issues.
User advantages & durability
Because of the stainless steel guard, the spool can tolerate contact with hard surfaces and helps resist abrasion to the spool and housing. This means less damage when trimming along edges or tougher surfaces. Also, the line capacity and 2.7 mm thickness give you stronger cutting capability and longer run time, reducing the frequency of line changes.
Care tip & best practices
STIHL recommends soaking new line in water for 12–24 hours before use. Doing so increases flexibility and reduces breakage under stress—especially helpful when working in tough or abrasive conditions. Regularly inspect the guard and spool for wear and clean debris to maintain smooth performance.
