Unboxing and assembling

[@anglo-saxon6716]

Great, informative video, Vinny. I bought one yesterday evening after work in Homebase and when I opened it at home, discovered there were no instructions. After a while, I managed to assemble it and tested it out. I appreciate not everyone will manage to work out how to assemble this, so thanks for your video.

thanks for the video! I do have a question about it. due to some stupidity on my end it got left in the rain for a couple of hours. is there any risk to the electricals inside/ground or will it be alright to use once fully dried out? It's my first time using one of these so I'm a bit unsure.

[@vinnymars]

Hi! I’ve done that myself loads of times, once it’s dried out I’m sure it will be fine, mine always has, thanks for your comment, I always appreciate them, best wishes

Thanks for the video! Mine has stopped working after unboxing and after using it for a good two hours! There was a slight burnt plastic smell and wouldnt spin. Any idea what it could be? Is there a video on how to replace the fuse?

[@vinnymars]

Hi thanks for your comment, does it turn( the bottom head) freely when you turn it by hand? Also the fuse is inside the moulded plug, turn it over and you will see a small compartment, use a very small implement on either side and it will pop out, when you replace the fuse just pop/push it back in, hope it’s just the fuse and nothing major

Very helpful as i did not understand the booklet instructions! Have never used one of these before. How do you know when you have to replace the cutting cord? Also in another video i watched the person took the cutting cord piece off and took the cord out when assembling. I gather i dont need to touch this part when assembling it? Maybe the person was demonstrating how to change the cord, but wasnt sure!

[@vinnymars]

Glad it was helpful! You will need to replace it when you cannot feed anymore cord through, it’s quite easy to replace the spool, you just squeeze the top so it lifts off, remove the empty spool, feed the cord through the hole from the inside-out, the only time you would need to open the top is for replacing the spool, thanks for your comment, appreciated 👍🏻

@@vinnymars thank you!!!

[@vinnymars]

No problem, glad I could help

[@jekylnhyde2894]

Can you take the head of it and put a steel wire brush head on?

[@vinnymars]

Probably not, this is deigned for lightweight plastic line, anything heavier would probably off balance it and damage the motor or worse, break off and maybe injure you, thanks for you comment, it’s always appreciated

Hi is the strimmer string at the bottom supposed to be bent?

[@vinnymars]

When you say ‘string’ I’m guessing you mean the cutting cord? It will straighten out when using as the Centrifugal force will naturally direct it away from axis of rotation, thanks for your comment, as always they’re appreciated

[@lillyp7395]

@@vinnymars yes the string cord 🙈 thankyou very much💚

[@skewwer]

Bought one today from B&Q for £31,00, its an handy video you've made showing the basics of how to assemble it as There are no instructions, just pages of common sense safety jargon 😊

[@vinnymars]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@vinnymars]

Glad you found the video useful, thanks for your comment, appreciated

[@naattts]

How long did you charge it? Mine is not working unless it is plugged

[@vinnymars]

oddly enough mine doesn’t work unless it’s plugged neither, thanks for that mind bending comment, appreciated
