Voltage Cable length Cross section
220 – 240 V / 50 Hz Up to 40 m 1.0 mm2
220 – 240 V / 50 Hz Up to 60 m 1.5 mm2
220 – 240 V / 50 Hz Up to 100 m 2.5 mm2
Minimum rating: 1.0 mm2size cable,

Your product is supplied with cable wired directly into 
the product.
– Flymo Extension Cables are available from your local 
Husqvarna UK Ltd. Approved Service Centre.
– Do not wire an extension cable directly to your product 
yourself. Please contact your local Husqvarna UK Ltd. 
Approved Service Centre for further information on the 
connectors and kits available.
– Only use extension cables specifically designed for 
outdoor use and which conform to one of the following 
specifications: Ordinary rubber (60245 IEC 53), 
Ordinary PVC (60227 IEC 53) or Ordinary PCP 
(60245 IEC 57).
Connectors – Important
• Flymo connectors are suitable for use with 2 core 
cable only. Under no circumstances should these 
connectors be used for earthed products.
• All Flymo connectors and cables are of splashproof 
construction. They are not waterproof and must not 
be left outside permanently nor should they be sub-
merged or immersed in water. Do not let cable lay or 
trail through pools of water or splashed with water from 
hose pipes.
Mains plug replacement – Important
• If the plug supplied is cut off it should be destroyed. 
There is an electric shock hazard if a cut off plug is 
inserted into a 13 amp socket.
1. No earth required. Flymo products are double insulat-
ed to EN60335 and under no circumstances should an 
earth be connected to any part of the product.
2. Ensure the mains voltage suits your product.
3. Important! The wires in the mains lead are coloured in 
accordance with the following code: 
BLUE – NEUTRAL; BROWN – LIVE. The wire which is 
coloured BLUE must be connected to the Terminal 
which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured BLACK. 
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connect-
ed to the Terminal which is marked with the letter 'L' or 
coloured RED.
4. It is important that the outer sheath is clamped cor-
rectly into the 3-pin plug.
5. If in doubt consult your local Service Repairer or quali-
fied electrician before the machine is used.
6. A 13 Amp fuse must be fitted to the mains plug.
7. The normal plug fuse and household fuse only protect 
the electrical equipment and are not a safeguard 
against electrocution.
Additional Safety warnings
