To set the trimmer to the body height [ Fig. O7 ]:
To set the shaft length:
v Loosen the clamping sleeve
t
, extend the handle
z
to the desired shaft length and re-tighten the clamping
sleeve
t
.
The clamping sleeve
t
must be fastened firmly enough
to prevent the shaft from being moved.

v Pull the lock
1
belonging to the additional handle
2
,
set the additional handle
2
to the desired incline and
release the lock

.
If the trimmer is correctly set to the body height, the pos-
ture is upright and the trimmer head in work position 1
is tilted forwards slightly.

w
and additional
handle
2
in such a manner that the trimmer head is
tilted forwards slightly.

To start the trimmer [ Fig. O1 ]:
DANGER! Risk of physical injury!
Risk of injury if the product does not stop
when you release the start button.
v Do not bypass the safety devices or switches.
For example do not attach the start lever
i
to
the handle.
To start:
The product is fitted with a two-handed safety device
(start lever
i
with safety interlock
u
) to prevent the prod-
uct from being turned on by accident.
1. Push the safety interlock
u
with one hand and pull the
start lever
i
with the other hand.
2. Release the safety interlock
u
.
To stop:
v Release the start lever
i

To extend the cutting filament (double auto feed
system) [ Fig. O10 ]:
A clean cut is achieved only with the maximum filament
o
length.
The cutting filament
o
is lengthened automatically
when the filament cassette comes to a standstill after
switch off.
As the filament can only be lengthened in small incre-
ments, it can be necessary in some cases to repeat the
switch-off / switch-on action several times (up to 6 times).
Important is that the filament cassette comes to a com-
plete standstill each time.
The cutting filament has been sufficiently lengthened when,
after switch-on, it audibly strikes the filament limiter
p
.
The filament cassette has to be replaced when the cutting
filament has been used up:
FLYMO Filament Cassette and Cutting Filament:
• 500E FLY021 Part.no.: 513937190
• 580E / 650E FLY061 Part.no.: 510245990
4. MAINTENANCE
DANGER! Risk of physical injury!
Cut injury when the product starts
accidentally.
v Before you maintain the product, make sure that
the mains cable is disconnected.
To clean the trimmer [ Fig. M1 / M2 ]:
DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury and risk of damage to the
product.
v Do not clean the product with water or with a
water jet (in particular high-pressure water jet).
The airflow slots must always be clean.
1. Clean the airflow slots
z
with a soft brush (do not use
a screwdriver).
2. Clean all movable parts after each operation. Especially
remove any grass and dirt from the cover
3
.
To pull the cutting filament manually out of the
filament cassette [ Fig M3 ]:
A cutting filament that is too short or no longer extends
automatically when the trimmer is turned on can be pulled
out manually.
1. Push and release manual feed button
s
, while you
gently pull on one of the filaments
o
until the filament
reaches the filament limiter.
2. When the required amount of filament is fed out, gently
pull on the second filament (There is no need to push
the manual feed button
s
again).
3. If the filament extends past the filament limiter, too much
filament has been fed out. Remove the cassette cover
d
and click filament cassette anti-clockwise until the fil-
ament is at the desired length.
