How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
The most common reason for the cord refusing to rewind is a broken or worn out recoil spring. This tiny spring hooks onto the pulley and is stretched out when you pull the cord; when you let go the spring is meant to snap back to its original position.
The most common problem with a string trimmer is that the unit runs out of string. The string may also be twisted or loose on the spool. The cutting head may be dirty or the head outlet guide may be bent. An electric trimmer`s power cord, switch, or motor may fail.
The pull cord mechanism on a lawn mower isn`t complicated, and the reason your cord isn`t catching is that one of the components of the flywheel starter assembly has failed under the stress of regular use. Typically it`s either worn or broken pawls, or a damaged pulley system.
Pull the plastic housing of the electric plug to take it out of the wall socket; never pull on the cord. Do not overload electric outlets with too many items plugged in at once.
“The Weed King,” as Ballas came to be known, eventually went on to sell Weed Eater to Emerson Electric Co., which later merged with Poulan, and was acquired by the Husqvarna Group in 1986. Today, the Weed Eater brand encompasses not only string trimmers, but also mowers, hedge trimmers, and blowers.
You need to leave about six inches of string hanging from the spool when you are done adding your new string. You should use a heavy-duty pair of scissors to snip the string.
