Soldering is a process where items are fused together by a melting method and the addition of filler metal into the joint. The filler metal would need a lower melting point than the metal used for adjoining. The way in which soldering is distinguished from welding, for example, is that it doesn't involve melting the actual workpieces.

This method is easy and pretty effective- the main issue is the ghastly lump in your cord that you'll be left with afterward! Heat up the exposed metal wires with your soldering iron, and apply some solder to the connection of wires- ensure that this fully fuses and strengthens your wires This method is perhaps the one many people opt for first. It involves shortening the wire slightly, and reconnecting it with a wire nut, then sealing it up with electrical tape. Soldering is a temporary, relatively easy, yet unreliable solution to fixing your power cord- so we've listed three different ways for you to repair your cut lawnmower power cord/broken power cable.Align and insert both of your cables within the aluminium crimp (or any other correct sort of connector) simultaneously- seal by striking the flatter edge of the crimp with your hammer. Connect both the old and new wire segments; as below (we recommend doing this on the ground to avoid injuries and damage to yourself or surfaces) This technique is slightly more advanced but highly preferable to the other methods mentioned. Soldering typically involves the use of a soldering iron and solder. It doesn't really matter which side of the lever you insert the cable through, so long as the mower cable doesn't catch on any other part of the lawnmower and remains as straight as possible. Usually, the Operator Presence Control (OPC) lever is the lever closest to the mower engine and the drive lever is usually closest to the operator when stood behind the lawn mower.

We sell mower cables including drive cables, throttle cables and electric mains cables for many lawnmower makes including AL-KO, Flymo, Hayter, John Deere and more. Next, gently pull the handle out of its locating hole in the handlebars. Do not force the lever - it has enough flex to be easily removed without any real force.

Add on another crimp (or any suitable connector) on your new, extended cable. Loop the remainder of the cable through the original gap where the S-shaped part went. Run through the other end of your new cable into the aluminium crimp to close it off. This attaches the extended cord to the pull bar. Clean up any wire, and slide some heat-shrink tubing onto one end of the wire- space these far away from the wire ends to prevent premature shrinking If you've severed your lawnmower power cables- stop. Don't attempt to use it until you're confident that the safety/fix system you've implemented for your lawnmower cable is effective against water damage, tugging, and further damage to your electronics.

This guide will show you just how simple it is to reattach these cables to the mower handlebars and, best of all, it requires no tools at all. Determine Which CableNow that you've fixed it, you need to test it and ensure it's safe and working. As the severed ends of the crushed cables will be sharp, we recommend cutting them off.
