ground while it is turning. A further length of
line will automatically be fed out.
The line cutter in the guard then ensures the
line is cut to the optimum length.

eter of 2mm. Use only genuine Flymo nylon
line.
1. Take approximately 7 metres of line. Place the
centre of the line into the slot in the middle of
the spool (T1) enabling 3.5 metres of line to be

the spool. Always wind line in the direction of
the arrows on the top of the spool. Leave
approximately 100mm of line unwound and
place into cleat as illustrated in figure V.
