A 'wire' attached to the on/off button has come lose on my hedge trimmers. Does anyone know where it goes :?:

Do you have the make and model number? You might be able to find a schematic online. Looks like it may be a ground wire (i think you guys call them earth)

I dunno. Hard to tell from the pic. Good Luck, SM.

I'd say that for that to come loose, there must also be a nut or a screw missing - that's what would have kept it on.

So can you see a terminal with a thread on it but no nut? Or - less likely - a threaded hole where a screw should be?

Wait a minute Mr MH

I can't imagine Sean having a screw loose!

Thanks people. I can't see an obvious place where it fits (threaded terminal etc) It clearly comes from the on/off switch. The bleeder wont start though

Score one for the anti-noise-pollution guerilla army (gardening sub-branch).

Sean, Try connecting one end to your accordion and the other to ... no wait I got it now ... unscrew the lightbulb from the overhead lamp in the garage, point the tip of trimmer into the socket and switch on the light. :mrgreen:
