Questions Trimmer & Edgers

Why does the line on my electric trimmer keep snapping?

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.

How long do I need to charge the battery on the CT250 for?

When the cordless product is new, whether it is a trimmer or lawnmower, we recommend it is charged for 24 hrs. Remember the CT250 trimmer can be left on the charging bracket permanently.

How long does a cordless trimmer run for once the battery is fully charged?

CT250 trimmer will run on full charge for 25-30 minutes. This figure is based on regular trimming. The run time will depend on the grass conditions. If long and lush the run time will be less as the product is working harder.

On the cordless trimmer does the battery need re-charging after each use?

We strongly recommend all cordless products are fully charged after every use. This does two thing, it ensures that the product is fully charged ready for its next use and the user will get optimum life out of the battery.

On the CT250 is the red light meant to stay on the battery charger after the battery is fully charged?

The red light on the cordless trimmer CT250 glows continuously during the charging period.

How does the feed mechanism work on my trimmer?

The 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).
