Stihl FS 70 C Cutting Head Greasing

[JBASport]

I have a Stihl FS 70 C Strimmer and there is no obvious greasing point on the head. I have looked at videos that show a screw that you remove to screw in a tube of grease on the side of the head. Mine doesn't have such a grease point. Is the head likely to be non serviceable or is there another way of greasing the head, which is getting very hot whilst in use. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Terry

Hi JBASport, and welcome to TGMF.

You have a sealed for life head on your machine, so no grease bung on the side of the head. They do get pretty warm in use, even the greaseable ones do.  But obviously the downside is you can't tell if it has any or enough grease in it.

On some of these I have removed the head from the drive tube and forced grease into the box through the hole in the drive pinion, this hole goes into the gearbox.  It's a pain though.

Many thanks Mick. Terry
