Here is my channel wish list if you would like to show some support in purchasing some tools or spare parts, it is gratefully appreciated www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/13BO7QKGAZZV2/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist
Hi Mick Best video by far i've seen online easy to follow instructions for clueless non professional like myself and have immediately subscribed to your channel.
Hi Mick, many thanks for the informative film. In case anyone might be wondering about the type of grease used, specifically in the HS 45 gearbox, I thought I would just add a word. Stihl recommends Stihl Multi lube for the HS 45 gearbox. Not to be confused with the FS grease used on Bruch cutter gearboxes. Different temperature tolerances.
Hi Mick Great video as usual. I thought it might be worth a mention, both halfs of that blade set are identical so as long as you get them facing each other, there is no top or bottom blade. Its always worth making a mental note whats goes where still.
I rented a set years back, the shop had a sheath longer than the blades filled with kerosene, and hung the units in them to keep the blades clean and lubed. I was under the impression there was a clutch to keep the blades from breaking. My old Homelite unit has visited chain link fence, iron posts and big branches, never broke a blade
The tap and fuel line was from me Mick Just a thank you for the advice on the Suffolk punch which is running like a dream. I’ll be painting her up and next at this rate 👍 only issue I have is I’ve got to remove the exhaust stub which I know is going to be a mate of a job. 😟may end up drilling it out. As it’s sheared off now anyways
Nice video pal. Did you see the bit of hedge cutter blade I found by a laurel hedge the other week? They must have hit a 6inch nail on the fence. Enough to upset your day 🤣
How's she goin'/ Nice repair on the trimmer. I like the way to check the gearbox and blade parts for any other damage from the incident that caused the blade to break!!! A good thing to do. Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
Same Trimmer as the Mrs! Save this in the library never done one of these before. Surprised the nuts came off so easy. Assume they would be a PITA as the sap and all would act like glue. 🔧🇺🇸🦅🤙🏻
Thanks for the video. I've got the same trimmer I've just changed my blades going by the video but blades not moving.i turned the cog round with screw driver and they are moving in and out ok. Put plate back on. Still not moving was working fine before hand. Cant work it out 🙈
Take the blades off and start the trimmer with the gearbox open.. make sure the small gear is spinning.. if it is then re fit the blades.. sounds it you have not installed them correctly or have over tighten the bolts on the blades
I use Kramp resin remover spray for cleaning the blades and bars. Saves no end of time. Also performs better than wd40 and the like for blade lubrication
Mick, i thought you had worked on that machine before! Customer should be very happy with the turn around. Hope Riley Boy and mrs P are doing better. 🇺🇸👍Roger
Nice one mate, i have the same cutters but only the newer version, always used the stihl grease on them good little peace of machinery compared to the hs85 ones i used to use , for the blades i use gt85 spray instead of wd40 .
Thank you for this video Mick! I’ve got a HL 100 Long reach hedge trimmer. Please could you tell me is it advisable to always use hedge trimmers on full revs ? in case you are cutting stems that are a little bit thicker than advised. Sometimes when I use mine it jars and on 2 occasions Now I have had to replace the head Because of damaged gearing .
I got a maruyama hedger trimmer. I changed the blades. Tightened up the bolts and nuts. Blades wouldn’t move. Loosened up the nuts and the blades moved but they all fell off. What do I do.
Was it me or did it sound like clutch bell top end was rattling when you realised the revs... My 45 doesn't sound like that. Good job tho buddy wish I had somebody who could fix my tools that quick, lads near you must be chuffed... Take care
No worries just came across your page.... I went throw 5 mowers last years never have luck with lawn mowers hahaH... Got couple mowers a Mountfield with briggs 35 and a champion sat in yard if your ever down near Chester way, briggs had new carb and bubble still wouldn't run right. So if your ever down here welcome to them for nout.
@@louislouis4417 glad you have come across the channel. It’s about 200 miles from me I’m on the south coast. But ta for thinking of me. Hope all is good your end. Take her easy

i only use the Stihl Multi lube for the HS 45 gearbox.👍
For the FS gearbox Stihl recommends the Stihl Superlub FS.

No mate it's direct drive on these.. that's why I was surprised the gearbox had no damages

Was it you? 🤣🤣 Poor little Hedge cutter 😭😭😊
@@Paulbp1203 haha, I'd do a proper job and do both blades 🤣
@@TheCountryCottageGardener you and me both 🤣🤣 probably end up doing the gears in aswel
Yeah lol it not good when you just start your day out and snap
@@themowerman just a little question if I may. Inner grease for gears ect. You think am ok using copper grease like you use on brake pads?
I wish I can get parts within 24 hours it's sometimes within 2 weeks. Good job Mick!! I hope Riley boy is feeling better now 👍
He's a little better mate.. ta for asking.. yeah super fast delivery..
How's she goin'/ Nice repair on the trimmer. I like the way to check the gearbox and blade parts for any other damage from the incident that caused the blade to break!!! A good thing to do. Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
Hi bud. Hope all is good. Yeah always pays to check for more damage. Nothing worse then sending it back to find out you have missed something
Great repair mick! Good machines them hs45 👍
Yeah mate a good little trimmer
Same Trimmer as the Mrs! Save this in the library never done one of these before. Surprised the nuts came off so easy. Assume they would be a PITA as the sap and all would act like glue.
🔧🇺🇸🦅🤙🏻
Morning mate.. hope all is good.. yeah I was an easy job
Nice video Mick!
Ta mate
Thanks for the video. I've got the same trimmer I've just changed my blades going by the video but blades not moving.i turned the cog round with screw driver and they are moving in and out ok. Put plate back on. Still not moving was working fine before hand.
Cant work it out 🙈
Take the blades off and start the trimmer with the gearbox open.. make sure the small gear is spinning.. if it is then re fit the blades.. sounds it you have not installed them correctly or have over tighten the bolts on the blades
@@themowerman
Ok thanks will try that tomorrow.
I could move the blades by turning the cog so I wouldn't be able to do that would I if to tight .
Sorted now. I think the bottom blade was up to far so stopped the small cog from moving and I untighten the 5 bolts a bit.
Thanks for the tips 👍
@@RizlaaOnelove your welcome
Text book fix - Thanks Mick
Ta mate
Great work mick those can be super tricky to take apart been there done that. Got to stay out of those fences big like and share from tbc bud
Ta brother hope your keeping safe
That must have been fun hitting a fence! 😂 Great video as always 👍
Ta mate.. still not got the sticker yet.. I have no idea
@@themowerman Alright, I have still not gone to the post office I have to ship something out tomorrow so was planning to ship another.
I use Kramp resin remover spray for cleaning the blades and bars. Saves no end of time. Also performs better than wd40 and the like for blade lubrication
excellent work Mick.
Ta mate. A nice and simple fix. Just how I like it
Mick, i thought you had worked on that machine before! Customer should be very happy with the turn around. Hope Riley Boy and mrs P are doing better. 🇺🇸👍Roger
Yeah it's been in a couple of time for work..
Nice one mate, i have the same cutters but only the newer version, always used the stihl grease on them good little peace of machinery compared to the hs85 ones i used to use , for the blades i use gt85 spray instead of wd40 .
Yeah it's the same spray to be fair.. ya for watching mate
@@themowerman gt85 smells amazing , no problem at all bud good video content
Tidy job Mick. thanks for the info.
Your welcome mate
jobs a good un mate Awesome video
Yeah mate ta for watching
lucky it was not the gear box good video as always
Yeah that would of cost some money if it was
Good one mate
Ta mate
Thank you for this video Mick! I’ve got a HL 100 Long reach hedge trimmer. Please could you tell me is it advisable to always use hedge trimmers on full revs ? in case you are cutting stems that are a little bit thicker than advised. Sometimes when I use mine it jars and on 2 occasions Now I have had to replace the head Because of damaged gearing .
Yeah I would say to use it just under full power.. ta for the comment mate
What grain or type of sand paper do you use and can you purchase new spacers?
Yeah you can get New spacers .. I use 40 to 80 sand paper
Like new runs good
Yeah mate
I got a maruyama hedger trimmer. I changed the blades. Tightened up the bolts and nuts. Blades wouldn’t move. Loosened up the nuts and the blades moved but they all fell off. What do I do.
Something not right in the gearbox end.. I would say
Should only use stihl super clean on the blades.
Wd40 will brown the hedge.
What torque setting for tightening blade bolts?
Blade DS450/nut 8.0nm
Blade DS600/nut 8.0nm
Hope that helps
@@themowerman Mick. Thanks very much.
@@johncampbell-smith1591 your very welcome mate
@@themowerman Is that Torx TX30 or Torx TX27 ?

Hi bud. I don't think it was the clutch.. it's done some work and getting old ta for the comment..

Nice one. Shame to see so much tool steel going to waste.... Wouldn't mind a few inches of that.
Well I don't mind posting some over mate.. it's in the scrap bin
@@themowerman I'd be grateful for say 6 inches from the tip of the blade, I could make a marking knife from a bit like that.
@@BensWorkshop ok mate I will sort something out
@@themowerman Cheers. You'll need an angle grinder to cut it.
@@BensWorkshop yeah I got one mate
That is a nice hedge trimmer there . wow that blade was trash
Yeah.. but nice and sharp now..
Not a good thing to do with a hedge
What's not a good thing mate
