How to trim and edge
How the automatic line feed works (P)
1. When initially switching on the trimmer, a small
length of line is fed out.
2. A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard when the nylon line
hits 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 line 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
line cutter
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 gently pulling on the line until it
reaches the line cutter.
3. If the line extends past the line cutter, too much line
has been fed out.
4. If too much line is fed out, remove the spool cap
and click spool anti-clockwise until the line is at the
desired length.
Manual line feed
Cutting Head
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

located 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
remove it without depressing the two latches.
To replace nylon line.
For your convenience it is recommended you buy spool

1. Remove old spool.
2. Place new spool into spoolholder with cut out area of
the spool in line with eyelet as shown in figure S.
3. Release line from cleat and feed line through eyelet

it during fitment, whilst keeping the spoolholder
steady.
4. Refit the cap.
To fit nylon line only:
• Remember! Your product is designed to use only
nylon line with a maximum diameter of 1.5mm.
Use only genuine Flymo nylon line.
1. Take approximately 10 metres of line. Insert 15mm
of line into the hole in 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 figure T1.
