Ensure that genuine Flymo trimmer line is being used. Frequent line breakage is usually the result of the cutting head being taken too close to objects, i.e. walls, paving edges, etc. The cutting line must be allowed to rotate freely.

Most Flymo branded electric trimmers have auto feed. This does not mean it feeds automatically at full speed; it works on centrifugal force on start and stopping. When starting, the spool is allowed to rotate, allowing about 10mm of line to be fed out. The line in turn is cut to its operating length by the line limiter (the cutter in the safety guard).

The power pack should be charged for 24 hours before use. Recharge your power pack immediately after every use for the full 24-hour charging period. The power pack can be left connected to the charger permanently, with the charger switched on, without fear of overheating.

45 minutes - 1 hour depending on usage.

Straight-shafted trimmers are generally better for getting under bushes and hedges. Some trimmers have bent shafts to reduce manufacturing costs, i.e. fewer Components. Straight-shafted trimmers require a gearbox on the end of the shaft; these are expensive parts and contribute greatly to the cost of the product.
