PARTS GUIDE
 

How to choose your brushcutter line?

The choice rests on two criteria: the diameter (linked to power/engine size) and the shape (linked to the type of work). Also check compatibility with your head.

01
 
THE FEATURES OF THE LINE
DIAMETER + SHAPE
Two main criteria: the diameter (power/engine size) and the shape (type of work). Compatibility also depends on your head: check its manual.

< 20 cc 1.2 – 1.5 mm
20 – 25 cc 1.6 – 2.2 mm

35 cc 2.7 – 3 mm
40 cc 3 – 3.5 mm

CHOOSING THE LINE SHAPE
Shape Strengths & limits
Round Many diameters, even cut; mainly fine to medium grass.
Square Very tough, effective for clearing; a more « chopped » cut, noisier.
Star Versatile (finishing and tall grass), even cut; compatible head required.
Serrated Very sharp, tough vegetation; for powerful machines only, noisy.
Twisted Very durable, less noise and vibration; more expensive.
05
 
STORING YOUR LINE WELL
KEEP THE LINE SUPPLE
The line needs a little moisture to stay supple. Keep it away from heat, in a slightly humid place. Tip: soak the spool for a few hours from time to time.
