Flymo Grass Trimmer - Orange

The Flymo Contour 500E has a cutting width of 25cm.

While it can handle light shrubbing, it is primarily designed for grass trimming and edging. For very dense or thick shrubbery, a more powerful tool might be necessary.

The trimmer features an adjustable telescopic shaft and handle that can be altered to find the most comfortable working height.

The plant guard is a small attachment that extends in front of the cutting line. It helps to keep the line away from delicate plants, flowers, and borders, preventing accidental damage.

Refer to the product manual for the recommended cutting line diameter and type. Typically, a 1.5mm line is used with this model.

No, the Flymo Contour 500E is a corded electric grass trimmer and requires a connection to a mains power outlet.

You can switch between modes with the simple click of a button. The shrubbing mode allows the trimmer head to be lowered by up to 60°.

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the trimmer and a working electrical outlet. Ensure the power outlet is functioning by testing it with another device. If using an extension cord, verify its condition and suitability.

Ensure the line is correctly wound onto the spool and that the spool cap is properly secured. Check for any tangled line or obstructions around the cutting head. If the line repeatedly breaks, it may be worn out and require replacement.

Verify that the cutting line is of the correct thickness and type recommended for this model. Ensure the cutting head is clean and free from debris. Check if the line has worn down significantly and needs to be fed out or replaced.

Ensure the air vents are clear of debris. Allow the trimmer to cool down before resuming use. Avoid forcing the trimmer through excessively thick or tough vegetation, which can strain the motor.
