Question:
I stopped short of making a purchase of a 327LDX line trimmer with a hedge trimmer head attachment.
The dealer was nice to gas up a brand new trimmer and attach the brand new hedge trimmer attachment by removing the line head.
It ran beautiful however the hedge trimmer assy (gear box)got hot to the touch after 3 minutes of run to test.
The coupler also got hot and smoke came from it.
Yes, smoke came from the coupler and even though it stopped smoking it would still heat up after a minute or two and was hot to the touch.
What is going on?
I felt badly for them gassing up a new unit and I refused to buy it.
I noticed there were no "Caution Hot" stickers so I decided this must not be normal and put away my money.
