Again, Very handy for the Gruaig! 😂 I use a pound shop can of spray oil after every use. Stops the acidity eating into the blade. They are all a massive pain in the bottom to take apart & reassemble. Those injection molding engineers do get my admiration!

A can of spray oil in the gruaig?

@@bootsowen aahhhhhhhh 🙄, Sometimes I have to ask meself, Why do I even bother trying 😔. On the blades to Stop them Rusting !

[@bootsowen]

There used to be a bottle of Vaseline hair oil at the chemists, it might work on the blades, probably smells great. Not my cup of tea! Have you found @DeanDohertyGreaser ? He brings a more practical business approach to tool repair. He is up in Moville in Donegal Fixings. I've been there a few times, a super shop. Tons of top tools.

@@bootsowen funny you mentioned that. I only tripped over his channel last week & was going to suggest it to you. Yes a very versatile fellow. Suppose you'd have to be self reliant up there.

Looks like KZbin has found a new star to promote!

Saved me from going mad about this switch. I'm glad somebody in the world has a little more patience than me!!

[@bootsowen]

Great, thanks for the tip, It feels good when something goes back together again. I didn't really understand the design, but it is what it is!

[@robinmott1232]

You have got to pleased with that!. A resurrection of an hedge trimmer that was passed up by some one. Well done that man!

[@Piijo2K-hf3vk]

Thanks I thought that one pice was missing, but thanks to you I realised that the red lever enters the black piece and as you said, red is the safety and the black is the switch to, start feeling pain in your back😉.

Actually really helpful. I have a 6000 version that suddenly stopped. I think that it might be the brushes which I can get a replacement for, but I wasn't sure how to get that handle arrangement back together having taken it all apart. Obviously patience is one of the best tools for the job.

[@bootsowen]

It is some handle. You have to have equal patience to watch the video!

[@markparsons5166]

Thanks

[@bootsowen]

No problem

[@zx8401ztv]

Well done Boots Owen, it didn't take as long as you thought. I'm surprised that the motor and drive wasn't rusted to hell, but no :-D Never put yourself down, ill do that lol joke :-D

I may have edited them out but sometimes I open a big box of swears to get through a job like this!

[@zx8401ztv]

@@bootsowen i don't blame you, life can get very stress full at times. Stress at work screwed me up. Keep using a massive box of swears, better than making yourself ill. I mean that.
