Take Good Care of Your Flymo Lawnmower

Buyspares are the UK’s largest online retailer of spares and accessories for the home and garden. In this article, they reveal a few simple maintenance tips for improving the performance and expanding the life of your Flymo lawnmower, as well as keeping it in top condition. Find out how to change a lawnmower blade as well as tips on using your mower safely.

Use sharp blades for a healthy lawn
Changing your lawnmower blades regularly is an essential part of lawnmower maintenance. Over time your Flymo’s blades will become dull and the quality of their cut will diminish. The blades can also be damaged or bent if you strike an object such as a stone during use. Fortunately, replacing a faulty lawnmower blade is easy. See our step-by-step guide below:
1. First, ensure that your lawnmower is unplugged from the power supply.
2. Identify the kind of blade that your lawnmower uses. Don’t forget to wear protective gloves when handling lawnmower blades.
3. Loosen and remove the blade bolt.
4. Remove the old/faulty blade. Make sure you have the replacement blade ready to fit.
5. Fit the replacement blade on top of the cutting height spaces and secure it in place with the blade bolt.
6. Tighten the blade bolt, check, and you are ready to test your lawnmower.

Protect against electric shocks
Don’t take any chances when working outdoors with electrical equipment. Power breakers like RCD mains adaptors reduce the risk of electrocution and are recommended for use with lawnmowers, just in case you accidentally run over the cable. A power breaker can be used with your other electrical garden appliances such as trimmers, shredders and power tools.

Give your mower some TLC
Keeping your Flymo lawnmower correctly cleaned and maintained can extend its lifespan and keep it delivering the best possible cutting performance. After each use, unplug your mower from the power supply and carefully clear away any cutting debris from the housing and air vents. Also clear waste from the lawnmower blades and check to see if they need to be replaced.

Access all areas

If you’ve got a long garden it can be a struggle to reach all areas of the lawn easily for an effective cut. Fortunately, there is a very simple solution for your Flymo lawnmower. Using a lawnmower extension cable will enable you to lengthen the power cable on your mower, so you can extend your mower’s reach without the need for a separate extension lead.
