2. Locate the safety guard (B3) over the cutting head
(B4). Ensure the nylon lines are fed through the
hole in the safety guard as illustrated in fig B.

3. Push into location and turn safety guard in the
direction illustrated in Fig C, until a click is heard
and the safety guard is securely locked in position.

length of line is fed out.

2. A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the two nylon
lines hit the line cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED
this is quite normal. After approximately 5 seconds
the line will be cut to the correct length and the
noise will reduce as the motor reaches full speed.

• Make sure the motor is up to full speed
before trimming or edging.

3. If the noise of the nylon line being cut cannot be
heard, more line will need to be fed out.

4. To feed more line, it is first necessary to to allow
the motor to stop completely, then re-start,
allowing the motor to reach full speed.

5. Repeat step 4. until you hear the lines hitting
against the cutter. (Do not repeat this procedure
more than 6 times)

6. If problems are experienced with the automatic
line feed refer to Fault Finding Chart.

(P).

2. Pull

cap away from the spoolholder. (P).

When refitting the spool cap

securely located in the spoolholder.

2. Replace the cap, pr

essing firmly DOWN towards

the spoolholder to ensure cap is fully located.

3. Check that the cap is correctly fitted by trying to
remove it without depressing the two latches.

To replace nylon line.

For your convenience it is recommended you buy
spool and line complete. Nylon line only is also
available. Both are available from Electrolux
Outdoor Products stockists.

• If you have spool and line complete, follow steps
5 to 11.

• If you have nylon line only, follow the full
procedure below.

• IMPORTANT: Always wind the line onto the
upper section of the spool first.

• Remember! Your Flymo Trimmer is designed
to use only nylon line with a maximum
diameter of 1.5mm. Use only genuine Flymo
nylon line.

1. Take approximately 5 metres of line. Insert
15mm of line into one of the holes in the upper
section of the spool (Q) and wind line in the
direction of the arrows on the top of the spool.

2. Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound
and place into cleat as illustrated in figure R.

3. Repeat on lower section of spool.

4. Care should be taken to ensure that the line is
neatly coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will
impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed.

5. Remove the cap.

6. Remove the old spool.

7. Place spool into spoolholder.

8. Release one line from cleat.

9. Secure line into slot (P).

10.Repeat for second line.

button, whilst gently pulling on one of the lines
until the line reaches the line cutter.

3. When the required amount of line is fed out,
gently pull on the second line (there is no need
to press the manual line feed button again).

4. If the line extends past the line cutter, too much
line has been fed out.

5. If too much line is fed out, remove the spool cap
and click spool anti-clockwise until the line is at
the desired length.
