Environmental Information
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
(S)
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
T
.
3. Repeat on lower section of spool.
4. Care should be taken to ensure that the line is neat-
ly 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
(Figure R)

Ensure spool is fully located by gently rotating it dur-
ing fitment, whilst keeping the spoolholder steady.
11. Refit the cap.
