Worked fine for a while, and nearly finished mowing the lawns, but now the damned thing won't turn on!Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostAlso taking delivery of my snazzy new cordless electric lawnmower tomorrow, just in the nick of time as the lawn hasn't been mowed for nearly a month and is rapidly turning into a meadow

The battery is fully charged, and inserted properly along with the little override key. But the dead man's handle has stopped actually turning the thing on. This handle is linked to the motor with a steel cable, which also goes through an on-off switch half way up the main handle. But the cable has obviously lost a slight bit of tension and pulling the dead man's handle up to the main frame no longer starts the motor.
So I guess next weekend will start with a visit to Homebase
