To remove spool cap
1. Press and hold in the two cap release latches. See
fig S1.
2. Pull cap away from the spoolholder. See fig S2.
When refitting 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. Align the two latches on the cap with the two
windows in the spoolholder, then press down into
the locked position.
3. Ensure the two cap release latches are clearly visible and
are fully engaged with the windows in the spoolholder.
4. Check that the cap is correctly fitted by trying to
remove it without depressing the two latches.
To replace nylon line. Replacement nylon line is
available from most Electrolux Outdoor Products
stockists. You can buy it either as spool and line
complete, or as nylon line only.
To replace spool and line (complete)
1. Unwind approximately 100mm of line and feed this
through eyelet, see fig S3, then drop the spool into
spoolholder smooth side uppermost.
To replace nylon line on spool.
1. Take line and insert into hole in spool.
2. Turn spool clockwise to wind on required amount of
line, (approx. half = 10m) and cut line to length, see
fig S4. 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. Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound and
feed this through eyelet, see fig S3, then drop the
spool into the spoolholder smooth side
uppermost.
• Ensure spool is fully located by gently rotating it
during fitment.
• Remember! Your Flymo Multi-Trim is designed
to use only nylon line with a maximum diameter
of 1.5mm. Use only genuine Flymo nylon line.
MANUAL LINE FEED
To manually feed the nylon line (R)
Please note: Depending on which model you have
purchased, your trimmer may be fitted with one line
or two lines.
R1-a - Manual Line Feed Button
R2-a - Manual Line Feed Button
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. (If 2 lines are fitted do this to
one line only, then gently pull on the second line,
there is no need to press the manual line feed
button again).
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.
