Transform Your Trimmer with the STIHL Blade Installation Kit 

I do Stihl service and sales at Ace Hardware in Devils Lake ND. I did not know that the locking pin hole was magnetic! How cool is that! Enjoy watching your videos very much. I do learn a few helpful tips now and then. Thanks!!!!!

Just got a new FS 111 and it's the first time I'll be installing the blade tomorrow.

A word of advice? When you put the guard on, make sure you start the treads by hand until they grab. Actually stipped mine by using driver directly.

Wear steel toe leather boots, keep your feet close together and take small steps, don't cross over your feet with the blades. I do this work.

it would be awesome if you did a video covering all the blade options and what each are best suited for

Excellent. I forgot how to keep the shaft from spinning and you reminded me how. Thanks

Clear and simple explanations...👍gotta get one of those Ninja star blade and bigger guard cheers

Very useful video. You explained the process of installing the blade very clearly. Thank you 🇼🇸

GREAT video! Thank you for the step by step instructions. Very, very helpful! :)

Best video I've seen on this procedure.

So i guess i bought the older blade kit last week because it came with the two piece was washer and hub. No big deal there. What's really odd tho is that it came with a much smaller guard that what was already on it for the string trimmer. The pre installed one on mine looks exactly like the pre installed one in the video. The one in the kit is a lot smaller in diameter and much closer to the blade as well. If it was installed you would surely want to switch back when using the string because with the blade guard you'd only be able to use 2 to 3 inches of string

I have mostly echos but I've been using a stihl at one company. Thanks for the video of this weird cup over the blade. My Echos have a small solid metal one instead of the bucket shaped one. I like the stihl style gearbox lock pin location.

Thanks, Carl. That was helpful and I learned a couple of things. (Just bought a Kombi for my business).

One of this best tutorials on this. But a link to buy the product would be nice.

This was excellently explained with step by step no nonsense. Visually excellent presentation. Thank you so much for the quality of this video, editing and presentation included. 💯🇨🇦🍁

Very Well Done!

Fantastic video, answered my question.

Great video my friend. Thanks for the help!!

Thanks dude.

Very good explanation, thank you.

Best demo ever!!

I started to buy that bkade,but went with the high grass blade instead. It cuts well in briars,high brush,and stalky weeds. It seems less jumpy than the knife looking one you have there,although the one you have probably cuts faster.

Nice instruction, thanks!

Excellent video, thank you.

Help Please! What is the part number for this complete kit for the FS91R?? Thank you!

Thank you very very helpful

on a fs56 change head from blade to string head

Thx for the video. Very helpful!

Grabbed the kombi 91R for $75. I’ll get this ninja blade for my woods. What a deal. Does it matter if stihl says down or up on these blades?

awesome video. thank you

Good job, thanks for posting

Thank you for your video,need your opinion,the blade isn't spinning freely even though I followed the steps on the video...your assistance would be appreciated

Does the FS 131 brush cutter/trimmer come with both deflectors in the box?

Hey Quick Question, i have a 411 stihl and i'm trying to change the deflector, however, i can't remove the screw from it after unplinging him from the machine. It's like there is a circle who prevent users to remove the screws. Problem is, there is no others screws for the 2nd reflector. It feel very strange that i can't remove them from the deflector ... thanks

Don't forget some old motor oil or grease on the output shaft threads when changing attachments.

Can that blade hardware be put on the FS 70R? Great video!

Can you put this blade on an FS56? The parts catalogue says you can’t. Is it not powerful enough, the FS56?

I have the FS90R trimmer and the large reflector bolt holes won't line up in order to install. I checked the website and it says it's fits the FS90R but looks like it has a newer plastic fitment for the newer trimmers

Thank You!

hi，i have one machine like this，i had a little trouble with the lawn trimmer head，when i mounted the lawn trimmer head i forgot the holder，how to take out the head？

Whats the keyway on the blade for?

Can this be done on a FS 38? Great video 👍

on a fs56

Real nice.

Just wondering if the blade adapter kit come with the FS 240 Brush Cutter

my set i just bought is the same but the big stihl wacker when i use this the other day it gets super hot handles could only use in sperts is this normal???

So this would be made for more gnarley grass, weeds, small branches the thickness of a pencil?

Just picked up a blade set for my Stihl and it came with a shaft. I couldn’t install the shaft onto my weed whip so I just took the entire head with the guard off and swapped it on. It’s shaking uncontrollably now and after taking it apart and looking at it I have no clue what the problem is?

I have the FS 250R (a gift from a neighbor who's moved into an assisted living) - he gave me the grass cutting blade with it but when i put on the blade, i don't see an arbor to keep the blade centered. how do i keep it centered?

Thank u

I own a stihl combi attachment strimmer, do you know if this can also be removed and a brush cutter head be put on or do I have to buy the Brush cutter attachment as well? thanks

Is FS70 suitable for metal blades? Thanks!

Can you please provide part number shown at 5:04 , thank you!

GET on with it FQFS

I have the same model and this blade works wonderfully but the vibration is unbearable.......am I doing something wrong with installation???

Can you use this blade on Stihl FS 56 RC

Can I use this blade and deflector with the FS 56 rc?

What's the part number on this kit? I can't find one that fits the 91

Isn't the blade meant to be logo up not down?

Mines 6’3 300lbs tight.

Does that wrench come with the kit?

Can you use the brush cutter blade on a Stihl KM56 rc to cut brambles and blackberry bushes? Thanks for the video.

Can I do this to my yard boss

change blade to string head

Will this blade fit the fs 111r ?

What is the Stihl Kit part number?

Can this be done on an fs56?

Is the blade compatible with STIHL FSE 60?

u mounted the blade upside/down ;-)

Why didn't you try it out?

Why can’t u use the knife blade on my fs km? My dealer said I could but I looked it up online and they said my Kombi unit won’t work due to motor head of the 56 rc-e

I took the head off my trimmer and there is no arbor plate. Mine is brand new model. Looks like the head is different than yours. Wth do I do now 😆

nooice

Difficult to understand with all the wind noise

Don’t use that blade by itself. It is useless. Use the string head under the blade and run them both. It will save you loads of time and effort trust me. None of these videos show the right way to attach a blade. They just show what the engineer from stihl designed. Lol 😆 try cutting highways for 10+ miles a day with saplings mixed in the Johnson grass that is 3 feet tall. You would get nowhere with just a blade. You gotta have string too

Good info! Could do without the heavy breathing camera man tho....

No one can hear you
