cables are damaged or worn.
4. Immediately disconnect from the mains electricity supply if the cable is cut, or the insulation is damaged. Do not touch the electric
cable until the electrical supply has been disconnected. Do not repair a cut or damaged
cable. Replace it with a new one.
5. Your electric cable must be uncoiled, coiled
cables can overheat and reduce the efficiency of your Hedgetrimmer.
6. Keep cable away from the cutting area.

• YOUR HEDGETRIMMER IS SUPPLIED
WITH CABLE WIRED DIRECTLY INTO
THE PRODUCT.
1. Flymo Mains Cables and Extension Cables
are available from your local Electrolux
Outdoor Products Approved Service
Centre.
2. Do not wire an extension cable directly to
your product yourself. Please contact your
local Electrolux Outdoor Products Approved

IMPORTANT

4. It is important that the outer sheath is
clamped correctly into the 3-pin plug.

• Flymo connectors are suitable for use with
2 core cable only. Under no circumstances
should these connectors be used for earthed products.

5. If in doubt consult your local Service
Repairer or qualified electrician before the
machine is used.

• All Flymo connectors and cables are of
splashproof construction. They are not
waterproof and must not be left outside permanently nor should they be submerged or
immersed in water. Do not let cable lay or
trail through pools of water or splashed with
water from hose pipes.
MAINS PLUG REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT
• If the plug supplied is cut off it should
be destroyed. There is an electric shock
hazard if a cut off plug is inserted into a
13 amp socket.
1. No earth required. Flymo products are
double insulated to EN60335 and under no
circumstances should an earth be connected to any part of the product.
2. Ensure the mains voltage suits your
product

6. A 13 Amp fuse must be fitted to the
Mains Plug.
7. The normal plug fuse and household fuse
only protect the electrical equipment and
are not a safeguard against electrocution.
If your product is hard wired i.e. nondetachable mains electric cable, a conversion kit and extension cable is available
from all Electrolux Outdoor Products
Approved Service Centres which can be
found in your local Yellow Pages.

Starting and Stopping
Before starting your Hedgetrimmer.

A

1. Form a loop in mains cable and push the
loop through the hole in the handle as
illustrated in Fig. A.
2. To secure, position the loop over the hook
and pull back as illustrated in Fig. B.
3. Connect to mains and switch on
4. Remove blade cover as illustrated in Fig.
C.

B

C

To start your Hedgetrimmer
1. There are two switch levers fitted to your
Hedgetrimmer.
2. Both switch levers need to be held in the
operating position (See Fig D) for the
product to start.

D

To stop your Hedgetrimmer
•

Move Hedgetrimmer away from cutting
area before stopping.
1. To stop, release one of the switch
levers.(Fig E)

How to Use
How to Use your Hedgetrimmer
1. Inspect area to be cut before each use remove objects which can be thrown or
become entangled in the cutting blades.
2. Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your
body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and
stand in a secure and stable position.
3. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before entering the material to be cut.
4. Always work going away from people and solid objects
such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles etc.
5. If blade stalls, immediately stop the
Hedgetrimmer. Disconnect the Hedgetrimmer
from the power source and clear jammed
debris from the cutting blades. Inspect blades
and repair or replace as needed.
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. See Fig. F. A
slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the
direction of motion gives the best cutting results.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards (See Fig. G), tapering the
hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more
of the hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.
