How do I re-affix the wheel to my AEG Edge Trimmer?

[alkifaf]

I received the Edge trimmer via redemption. I didn't use it for a month, and I finally attempted to use it. It needs practice. However, the wheel suddenly fell off. I hadn't even touched the mechanism to change the wheel angle, which affects the depth of the cut.

As I picked up the wheel, other bits fell off. I think I have all the parts, but nowhere on-line can I see a diagram of how to reaffix the wheel.

As you can see from the photo, there are three washers. However, one of the washers has a larger hole than the other two.

I wondered if someone who had the attachment, could very, very carefully, unscrew the tightening mechanism, sufficiently to take a photograph or describe where each piece goes. I have looked online for a diagram of how the wheel is fitted.

Note: I have asked AEG for help. My experience with AEG is they take ages and ages to reply and that is why I am now asking here.

Hi @alkifaf,

You can see the basic setup in this video on AEG's YouTube page - AEG 18V/58V 204MM Edger Attachment (AEDG10) in action.

I would say the black cylinder sits inside the wheel, and the bolt runs through it into the handle.

Does the washer on the right with the largest hole fit over the hexagonal piece just underneath the head of the bolt?

 

If so, I would say this washer sits on the outside of the plastic tab that the bolt sits in.

 

The two other washers should sit on each side of the wheel to prevent it from binding on the plastic tab and the handle on the other side of the wheel.

Give this set-up a try and let me know how it goes.

If you are still having trouble, let me know and I will get in touch with AEG for their advice.

I had seen the video and after watching it again, it made me chuckle as my first attempt was nowhere as good as theirs.

I think you solved the problem and I am including photos in case it helps anyone else. (I didn't take a photo of the black handle attached to the bolt).

Great work @alkifaf. I'm glad to hear that you've resolved your issue, and the addition of the images will be beneficial to others who encounter the same problem.

Thanks for sharing.
