Have a P2009 trimmer. Works great, but this is the second one. First one quit before it was a year old. Head made noise but did not turn. Returned and HD gave me a new one. I have a question about this mysterious screw that is not mentioned in the manual. Looks like maybe a place to add some sort of lube? Can’t see inside. Any ideas? I just don’t want this one to quit.
After all this time, No one has any idea or knows what this screw is for???
It’s definitely a lube screw. My
P2009’s head started rattling. Took screw out pumped some grease in . Good for now . I saw grease had come out around where head mounts. I can’t find info on what grease is used or how often . So seal must weep out grease till bearings fail. Too much grease creates heat and will cause seal to fail . It’s a pain to deal with at one year old. A better seal would fix .
