Does this product replace OEM part number FLY021?

Can I use this line for very thick hedges or tough weeds?

The 1.5mm line is suitable for general grass and light-to-medium vegetation. For exceptionally dense or tough materials, a trimmer with a thicker line diameter might be more appropriate.

Where is this product manufactured?

This ALM Manufacturing spool and line is manufactured in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Trimmer not cutting effectively after replacement

Ensure the lines are correctly fed through the trimmer head eyelets and that the spool is seated properly. Check if the line has been worn down too far; if so, manual advancement or replacement may be needed.

Line keeps breaking or tangling

Verify that the correct spool is installed for your model. Ensure the line is not snagged on anything within the spool or trimmer head. Check for debris obstruction in the trimmer head.

Spool cover won't fit or secure

Double-check that you have the correct spool and cover for your specific Flymo model. Ensure no debris is preventing the cover from seating correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Direct replacement for specific Flymo models, ensuring proper fit and function.
  • Includes both spool and line, offering a complete replacement solution.
  • Dual line design enhances cutting efficiency.
  • Manufactured in the UK, potentially indicating quality assurance.
  • Clear list of compatible models and OEM numbers aids in purchase decisions.

Cons

  • Compatibility is restricted to a specific range of Flymo models; not a universal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Check: Before purchasing, verify that your Flymo model is listed in the product description or that the OEM part number matches one of the provided cross-references (e.g., 5139371-84/9, FLY021, FLY060).

Setup:

  1. Ensure the trimmer is switched off and disconnected from the power source.
  2. Remove the existing spool cover and spool from the trimmer head.
  3. Place the new ALM Manufacturing FL489 spool onto the trimmer head, ensuring it is correctly oriented.
  4. Thread the line ends through the designated eyelets on the trimmer head.
  5. Replace the spool cover, securing it according to your trimmer's specific mechanism.
  6. Reconnect the power source and test the trimmer.

Care: Store the spool and line in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain line integrity. Avoid kinking the lines during storage.
