Good video to see what's inside and to see how all the parts are connected. I strongly recommend that you please use a power tool when disassembling the machine. This video could have been half the time or more. It would have saved you and the viewers of lot of time. Also, would have been nice to see exactly where the loose wire was connected. Although it's relatively obvious, there are some people out there that don't know how these things work and your video would have helped them.

After reading all the negative comments I laughed because he clearly said several times that he didn't intend to fix it. During the video he pondered which new hedge trimmer he was going to buy - either a gas powered or a lithium battery. Sure I did fast forward through some of the unscrewing part but it was kind of cool to see that guys have a hard time with tight screws too. And I did get to see the part I needed. I have a B&D trimmer that has a blade with a side to side wobble and I couldn't see where the bolts were that needed to be tightened. Even though I'm a 'girl' I like to do what I can myself. So now I can see exactly what needs to be done if I want to tackle that. Thank you.

Thanks for the kind words. I did end up buying a battery-powered trimmer and it's been working great.

After ready the comments below I would say this is the best internet video I have ever seen informative he said its a brick.

I wish you would have been more gentle when opening the casing on this hedge trimmer. I'm trying to find out to reassemble mine after it came apart. I have all of the screws and springs but am not sure how a couple of the springs go back together.

thanks this helped me a lot to fix my hedge trimmer.

Great to hear!

My hedge trimmer starts alright, But as it warms up (7-8 minutes) it begins to slow down and lose power and finally stops. Next day again same thing Could you please tell me Is it the switch, capacitor or something else like brushes on motor??? . THANKS

I have an old one like that, which I just sharpened. What kind to replace it....Ryobi 18V or Echo? I think 18V.

Black and decker is actually good as far as outdoor power equipment is concerned. I mentioned my old hedge trimmer in the comments above and I also have a black and decker battery powered weed eater and I too have a 20V drill and all work fairly well

Great video, Fix: But, I trepidatiously anticipate having to do almost as much in order to change -- or even separate the double blade section to sharpen the blades.

2004 sounds right. I remember seeing those around that time. Before that they were a dark green color and before that black

@@richardrosen8201 they don't make these nearly as well as they did with the ones in the 80s which had a nice wraparound handle. That and the trigger switch didnt have to be unlocked to run

If you cut a power cord, no need to throw it away. Just get a pair of cord caps and make 2 shorter cords! Seems a waste to just toss out something still usable. Shorter cords come in handy at Christmas, right?

Lesson learned: put down plastic sheeting and wear disposable gloves before working on a greasy mess!

I would like to see how those wires fit back in on the motor as you pit it back together.

Exactly. That's what I'm searching KZread for right now! This is the only video that shows it, except the video is too dark, he doesn't show the other side of the motor, and he only shows the side of the motor where he doesn't know where the wire goes! I've soldered 4 different combinations so far and can't figure it out.

Check white wire you see wire goes into a hole. The black does same thing into small. Just have to have good light to find. Small wire is in area. I carefully unhooked with, just needed extra hand. I had d pulled out white to get black I put unit in then attached white. Just took time. The disassemble the guys nuts.

I, too, want to see where the wires fit. Anyone have a picture of the motor wire connections?

I have the exact same one and I cut the cord. Does anyone know where I can find a cord for this machine

Should be able to use any extension cord. You'll have to cut it and splice it to the remains of the cord attached to the trimmer.

T15 is the way to go

That damn trimmer has the funkiest damn design between the handle and the extension cord retainer and I hate the trigger switch on that model. I had the 8124 model and it was much more user friendly

Holy crap... could you have taken anymore time to show us absolutely nothing?

I never have ever cut the cord while working. You have to pay attention where the cord is at all times when you are working.

What a waste of time filming unscrewing the trimmer. Better to have this done before you begin to take it apart.

James: No, not necessarily: He is going through this without skipping. People get presumptuous while learning, their minds jump ahead -- then they get behind because of missing information they didn't glean nor retain. Oh, by the way, you have the fast forward on your screen, do you not? You can jump ahead to your heart's content.

hahahaa no chance this worked after that, this vid is hilarious. I'm just about to try fix my Bosch one, but after this video, I think I'll just send it in for repair

Could have, but it was replaced with a much-more-usable cordless model.

If you have a lot of shrubbery, get a battery or gas trimmer. My dad owns a B&D 40v lithium ion hedge trimmer

By the time I took this one apart, I had already bought a 20v battery one. So much lighter and easier to use than dragging a 120v extension cord around.

Actually if you talk to landscaping experts they will tell you never ever ever ever use hedge trimmers. They are terrible you should always do it by hand doesn't matter how much there is. You should use very sharp hand cutters because if you do anything but leave a nice smooth sharp cut then you are damaging your hedges it has to be a very clean cut and at a certain angle

*@Fibs behold* 🙃 :- But we're not never ever, ever, ever, gonna be landscaping experts with fore-arms like Popeye's after eating several cans of spinach. We just want to fix our ailing hedge trimmers. Mine has worked well for ten years, and the hedge-leaves didn't ask for a fancy sharp blade with a special angle to catch the Sun's rays at 10 o'clock in the morning!

It's pretty obvious there's no intention of reassembling it eh!

Invest in some decent screw drivers.

this guy needs the proper tools most of the time is unsrewing the screws

Dillettáns!!

Eight minutes of watching this guy unscrew the screws? Are you kidding me?

Over 8 minutes of screwing. I'm 74 and take less time than that!
