Cutting Head
To remove spool cap
1. Press and hold in the two cap release latches. (Q).
2. Pull
cap away from the spoolholder. (Q).
When r
efitting the spool cap
1. Keep all areas of the cap and spoolholder clean.
Failure to do so may prevent the cap being securely
located in the spoolholder.
2. Replace the cap, pr
essing 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.
T
o 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 Outdoor Products stockists.
T
o fit spool and line complete:
1. Remove old spool.
2. Place new spool into spoolholder with cut out ar
eas of
the spool in line with eyelets as shown in figure R.
3. Release one line from cleat and feed line through eyelet (R).
4. Repeat for second line.
• Ensure spool is fully located by gently rotating it dur-
ing fitment, whilst keeping the spoolholder steady.
5. Refit the cap.
T
o 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 (S) 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 S1. 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
efficiency of the automatic line feed.
3. Then fit spool as described in ‘To fit spool and line
complete’, section above.
