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 (Q) 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 R.
3. Repeat on lower section of spool.

neatly coiled on the spool. Failure to do so will
impair the efficiency of the automatic line feed.
