Hi folks,
I have a one year old HS81R which has done scarcely more than 10 hours work. Decided to start it up this evening to give it a run over winter and it started fine but the blades won't move at all. There *may* have been a slight click noise when I first started it, don't know if this indicates something?
I left it to warm up and gave it full revs, but the blades still wouldn't budge. The blades have been greased as needed in the past so it's not likely that they will have got stuck due to lack of lubrication. I rotated the handle to make sure that it wasn't getting confused about something not being in place (had encountered a similar thing on another model which stopped the blades from moving due to a safety feature if the handle was not locked in position).
Wondered if there was some part which is know for breaking easily (even in a fairly new machine with few hours work done)?
Any help greatly appreciated!
