10amp 2 pin connector on a 3amp hedge trimmer
Posted: Tue Aug 03, 2021 11:52 am
Hi all,
I have a hedge trimmer which has suffered a few cable cuts. In the past I've reconnected the cables using a chocbox weatherproofed with insulating tape. I decided to remove the affected cable and re-join using a 10 amp 2 pin connector. Perhaps it is my electrical abilities that have let me down, as the trimmer won't start up, or perhaps the 2 pin connector was a non-starter, and I therefore need to replace the whole length of cable and discard the connector. Please advise me as to the best course of action. Thanks
