How to use

To manually feed the nylon line (Q)
1. If required line can be fed out manually.
2. To operate, press and release manual line feed button, whilst gen-

tly 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 man-
ual 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.

• Always return the product to its normal operating position

before switching on.

To remove spool cap
1.

Press and hold in the two cap release latches. (R).

2.

Pull cap away from the spoolholder. (R).

When refitting the spool cap
1.

Keep all areas of the cap and spoolholder clean.  Fail-
ure to do so may prevent the cap being securely lo-
cated in the spoolholder.

2.

Replace the cap, pressing firmly DOWN towards the
spoolholder to ensure cap is fully located.

3.

Check that the cap is correctly fitted by trying to re-
move 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 Husqvarna UK Ltd. stockists.
To fit spool and line complete:
1.

Remove the cap.

2.

Remove old spool. 

3.

Place spool into spoolholder.

4.

Release one line from cleat (T1).

5.

Secure line into slot (S1).

6.

Repeat for second line.

Ensure spool is fully located by gently rotating it during fit-
ment, whilst keeping the spoolholder steady.

7.

Refit the cap.

To fit nylon line only: 

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.

IMPORTANT - Always wind the line onto the upper
section of the spool first.
Take approximately 5 metres of line. Insert 15mm of
line into one of the holes in the upper section of the
spool (T) and 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 fig-
ure T1.  Repeat on lower section of spool.

2.

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

3.

Then fit spool as described in ‘To fit spool and line
complete’, section above.

• Always return the product to its normal operating position

before switching on.
