Bosch Cordless Grass Strimmer

[okladene]

I have just renewed the blade in my Bosch Cordless grass strimmer ART 23-18 Li and now it doesn't work properly. It's fully charged as it works if I take off the circular blade attachment.

Hi Oakdean,
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this particular strimmer and I was hoping someone would come along who was.
If the tool was store bought, I would be inclined to take it back to the customer services dept, who may be able to help solve the problem.
Failing that, I would expect that a customer help-line could help.
Hope its back in action soon.

Are you sure it is the right blade? is the blade catching the sides causing it to jam?

Hi Chipchopper. Unfortunately the Homebase store where I bought it just over 12 months ago has now been demolished to make room for more shops! I've been trying to find a customer help-line but so far can't find one but so far no luck.

Is it on the right way up? I bought a new blade for a rotary mower and that didn't work until I turned it over and refitted it. I'm not thick, honest, but there was very little visible difference!

Hi TWR. I've worked out that it's got nothing to do with the blade as it won't work when I don't have a blade in either so it's got to be something to do with the housing. From a small diagram on the base it says it should click when the housing is put on but I can't hear a click - mind you I am nearly 82 and my hearing isn't all that good!

Hi Okladene, wish I was there to help you, can you see the plug, just try changing the fuse, if that's ok, there should be a sequence starting the unit on the handle, you need to press the Button ( If it has one) then the handle, try that in order, although Homebase may have closed near you, providing you have the receipt they will help you, are you in Lanc's?
