Brush blade for stihl string trimmer manual#

The Stihl blade stays sharp until you find a rock or old fence. Resetting the kerf keeps the blade from binding and slowing the cut. The key to max efficiency is to keep the blade sharp and use the 'saw set' that brings the kerf back out wider. I highly recommend the limit stop in place of the plastic guard, better visibility and much safer, if that is possible with such a dangerous operation. I've since replaced it with a FS KM 130 R and put the blade and limit on to it. It did the job with momentum and a sharp blade. It worked quite well so I went to the dealer and picked up the 1' arbor sized chisel blade and depth limit guard for my FS66. I started clearing my place with my dads FS550 and chisel blade. I have yet to experiment with all of the options however flail mowers brush hogs stuff like that can often get into places more than one expects and end up doing more with the blade on a pole than necessary. More teeth makes more dust which can get in the throat. I find stuff that was cut off a year or two ago with a blade and has new shoots and dead stems breaks up fairly well with the three prong blade. I will warn that if you cut stuff off say six to eight inches above the ground and then trim close the pieces can impact your hands. I demolished my guard quick and for what ever reason they didn't have another one or feel like ordering one.

Mostly I use the three pronged blade, make sure not to get the ones less than a tenth of an inch thick as at least oregon has thinner ones which most likely cost the dealer less when he goes to order one and I of course expected what I always got from husky.

LIke a post above mention you are supposed to change out to a stop from the big guard and I assume from reading the manual rest the stem against the stop and power through it. I use the no guard, build up speed and hit the stem. I have not been able to find another one that size. The big one the dealer I bought my brush cutter wouldn't sell me but one day his assistant was running the shop.

Stihl only uses that size on their larger machines and hence ended up discounting this one, the smaller one. I use the blades on a 34 or so cc husqvarna machine with a 20mm arbor. I put a picture of what stihl seems to call a chisel tooth blade. I didn't look up what an fs-130 is displacement and arbor size is.
