Electric hedge trimmer

My LITTLE WONDER 110v runs for a while then blows fuse on 2000w Honda Gen. Have cleaned and greased moving inner assembly and cleaned brushes still NG.

How long is the power lead?
Is it coiled up or run out flat ?
How long is a little while ?
How hot does the electric motor feel when it cuts out ?
Is it a brushed or induction type motor ?

When you say "blow a fuse" do you mean the Honda generator goes into OVERLOAD mode, or does the push-button circuit breaker pop out?

Does the trimmer work okay on a regular extension cord?

Which Honda generator do you have, an EU2000i?

When this model goes into OVERLOAD, it's usually due to excessive heat/load on the circuit. If the breaker pops out, it's often due to a direct short or other external electrical malfunction.

Try switching the Eco-Throttle switch to OFF; this will force the generator to run at maximum power all the time, sometimes necessary for high-current loads that start/stop frequently (like an electric hedge trimmer).

Thanks Bert..50' cord poor quality. Flat out. Im going to try it now and see how hot it gets. Brushes. My guys told me about this problem. We have 2 trimmers that are the same model, only one giving us trouble.
