Zilly Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The OH has thrown away the box AND instructions for the new Tesco Strimmer. Can anyone tell me how to change the broken line before the sun goes down please? I can see a push in button which seems to hold the cover over the reel. There are 2 side buttons which release the cover. I don't know where the 2 ends of the line go...... Help please............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Forget the line and bin it ... poor quality and keeps snapping if it comes into contact with grass! Do what I do and Sellotape kitchen knives to the spinny thing ... works a treat! (Don't bolt a propellor to the spinny thing though whatever you do ... unless of course you're not afraid of heights) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedith Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 These cheap strimmers are useless, I know that from my own experience buying one from Argos. You would assume that a Bosch strimmer would be OK, not so, the line breaks the minute it comes into contact with grass and its a fiddly job re instating it. I took mine back to Argos the same day and got my money back due to it being useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
