Today we're going to change the Spool and Line on a Flymo Mini Trim ST trimmer.
Firstly make sure the trimmer is off and unplugged. Place the trimmer flat, so you can see underneath the guard, where the old spool and line are. Simply pull to release the old part.
As you can see, the spool and line need replacing. Get the new spool and line, and free about 10cm/100mm of line. Thread this through the hole, from the inside. When thread through, clip the spool into position.
If you have pulled through too much line, you can simply cut it until you have the correct measurement. That's how you change the Spool and Line on a Flymo Mini Trim ST Trimmer.
