In detail: efco 8130 do-it-yourself repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
You can “go the other way”. Efco has a twin brand - Oleo-Mac. I suspect that the spare parts for similar models (in this case, the Oleo-Mac TR130E) are the same. Two firms are engaged in this brand in Moscow: 1. "Unisoo" - 2. "Structure" -
P.S. If not difficult, please report the results of your searches.
bvu A similar situation occurred to me when mowing tall grass "Shark" without a protective cover. Business is going much faster, but the grass is wound up, thickens and burns. Further - only disassembly and cleaning. I performed these operations at home, but I had to tinker. When using a trimmer with a cover, and even when mowing short grass without a cover, I do not have such an effect, and I mow a lot and often. In any case, the general rule is as follows: when mowing, you should often remove the curled grass and clean the cover of adhering grass, especially if you are mowing tall or damp grass. After finishing mowing, you must remove the head and immediately clean everything that can be cleaned in the area of the rotating parts. A small amount of grass trapped inside the "rotor" can be removed by scraping with a nail through the recess, rotating the "rotor" with your hands.
zoll If, when the head is removed, the "rotor" turns freely with your fingers, then it looks like your thermal switch is incorrectly configured. I had this a few years ago on the Oleo-Mac. I decided to adjust it myself. Everything worked fine, but at the end of the season I got an “interturn” one. So it's better to contact the service. New thermal switches are inexpensive. 2 years ago I bought in a service in the Suschevka area (Moscow).

By the way, now I use Efco 8300 exclusively with Shark. The thermal protection has never worked yet.
Good people, help with advice!
That year I bought the aforementioned electric braid, this season my dad took it apart, oiled it, put a 2mm triangular fishing line, and now every 5 minutes an auto shutdown is triggered (as with overheating) and oil leaks. As far as I remember, according to the instructions, there was no need to do any lubrication, but since papa successfully lost his instructions, but now I can’t explain anything to him, like: “there was nothing to climb into the working unit”. Can anyone advise a four-thread?
Use a thinner line. And there was no need to lubricate anything. What was he smearing?
To: Hubert: Who knows, opened the plastic case (right now, damn it, I explain
)), where the engine is located and somewhere has lubricated.
And at the expense of the fishing line is thinner. According to the instructions, it seems that up to 2 mm is normal.
Take the tady to repair. Either daddy collected it crookedly or didn't pick up the oil by viscosity. Hence, additional heating, oil leakage and protection actuation. Even in the heat (I have the same trimmer), the protection works after about an hour of Shark's work. Kill the engine, the repair will be more expensive.
Rotor in service - 2800r. Maybe someone knows other options?
Thank you Andrey, but there are 4200 in total, you will have to buy a new one.
tayak At these rotor prices, it looks like buying a new streamer is the right move.
Alternatively, you can try to go to some market to see some master. Either on this forum, or on "Instruments" someone gave the exact coordinates. But I do not think that it will be more profitable - rather, you will only waste time.
You can ask around at the Moskvoretsky market. There are a lot of points with spare parts. You just need to take the rotor with you so that you can compare everything on the spot.
And this is not your first renovation? This brand has a “lifetime warranty” even after the warranty period, they have to repair one time free of charge.

Maybe, just not in Russia, it says in my warranty card - with professional use 6 months with household 12.(how they define it is unclear)

I got my Efco 8130 in the first year. Mowed a lot and for a long time. Interruptions were minimal. If you managed to change the engine before the end of the warranty. With the new one, I have already plowed three seasons! But I became careful, it works for about 20 minutes and I do a break.
And you have to mow a lot. A plot of 8 acres in 3-4 weeks is overgrown with devils. Only Shark rescues. I heard that craftsmen change plastic knives in Shark for metal ones.
The old woman did not suffer for long. Again the engine and head flew, replaced with a lifetime warranty coupon.
The design of the head is clearly not successful because of it, the engine burns out.
If I paid, it would come out more than 4 thousand. It's easier to buy a new one. The head already costs more than 700. Complete nonsense, I will never buy this company again.
After a little refinement of the head, when using the shark attachment, it became a super shark.
The engine does not overheat, the thermal protection of course has stopped working. 10 acres shaved under a beaver pretty quickly
The advantages of this company are obvious, one free repair after the end of the warranty period.
since the name of the topic is very convenient, I decided to upload my experience with this braid here
mine was purchased about 6 years ago
with two heads (both line and knife)
there was an experience of installing metal knives (apparently, they were unbalanced in weight), the head was torn apart, the operator was left without damage, but well it was. such experiments are more
from observations:
the head "Shark" (plastic knives) strongly strains the motor and extension cord. The latter heats up great (despite the fact that you mow strictly with the very tip of the knives), especially, the plug in the outlet on the shield in the house (I even found a slight wrinkling of the plastic at the bottom of the outlet), it is impossible to touch the plug contacts, they are so hot.
with a nylon head, the extension cord does not heat up (which means that there is no such load on the motor (it seems logical))
recently wrote about breaking the trimmer tip when trying to unscrew the head there is a thread in the other direction, so, apparently, he mixed up and applied force in the wrong direction
this weekend did the same stupidity and broke off a fragment of a new tip (full blonde, in short) but a simple (relatively) way of safely unscrewing the head was discovered:
unscrew the tip with the head (there is only one screw (study and select the bit for it in advance)
in the shed, there were two candidates for the role of a blank: a four-sided slotted screwdriver with a broken off handle from a car kit and a 4-sided piece that is inserted into the door locks of interior doors (so you almost certainly have one (to get it, you just need to unscrew two screws from which -or side of the door and remove this pin)) find a vice, grip the selected victim and grind each edge down to about 7 mm (depth is enough 10-12 mm) put the tip on this grinded part and rotate the head
by the way, I mowed the line with a broken tip, nothing happened, it seems possible I will not use Shark again
Summer time by default means summer cottages. It is necessary to go somewhere from the stuffy city to rest in soul and body, where you can calmly fry a barbecue. And first of all, take the children out into the fresh air. For this purpose, a dacha was purchased.
And already a heap of all the problems fell from here. The grass grows actively, especially at the beginning of summer, already up to the waist, and as you know, ticks live there. And we urgently bought an electric trimmer. But before buying, my husband and I studied all the possible information, distinctive features and advantages of the models. And for our plot of about 7 acres, with many trees and bushes, a trimmer was chosen by an Italian company specializing in the manufacture of garden equipment. Specifically, we opted for the EFCO 8130 electric trimmer for the following reasons: 1. Requires less maintenance than gasoline 2. Lighter in weight 3. Maneuverable, mows close to fences, around bushes and trees 4.Takes up little storage space This mower has been plowing with us for about 9 years. And I think it will last no less. The manufacturer guarantees. Country of origin Italy, they know a lot not only about pizzas.
We bought it in this configuration. The instruction has long been lost. But over many years of operation, we have studied all its nuances.
The main thing is the top engine position. During mowing, neither grass, nor dew, nor foreign debris gets there during mowing. It does not clog and has been running smoothly for many years. And due to the electric motor it has less weight.
Two nozzle circles, from the photo you can see that the circle with the fishing line is in constant operation.
Replacement of any parts was not made, everything is familiar from the first day of purchase. And in general, the trimmer during operation for many years has never let us down. We used the second circle-attachment “Shark” with knives for large weeds a couple of times. You will only need it if you have grown weeds on your site.
The nozzle with a fishing line is enough for us. The line is suitable for a diameter of 1.6-2.0 mm.
Now for the fishing line. At first, we saved on it, but it's not worth doing it. Better to take a quality one than a Chinese one. This will save you time and nerves. And then some then sin on the lawn mower, but it's not at all about it. We initially used a 1.6 mm diameter, but we were not happy with the result. Therefore, we bought it with a diameter of 2 mm and it went. I advise you to choose the diameter of the fishing line depending on the quality, density, and height of your lawn, that is, how often you can afford to mow. I advise you to leave the ends of the line on the ledge about 5-6 cm, it will be better to mow and prevent the electric mower from overheating. Of course, if you leave the long ones, then the width of the mow will be wider, but then you are not immune from overheating. We experienced overheating for several reasons: 1.this is the wrong line length 2.high, not mown grass for a long time 3.Electricity drops
We try to mow on time, but it doesn't always work out. In case of overheating, the mower shuts down by itself, a fuse is triggered there. We then put it in the shade for 10-15 minutes. Our worker is resting and ready to work again. Very comfortable curved handle.
The protective cover will prevent you from grass, small stones that hurt enough. But my husband prefers to mow without him.
To protect the eyes and ears from noise, we use a protective mask with ear muffs. ...
The mower has a short cord, as I understand it was intended. I think the manufacturer is worried about the safety of use.
There is a special cord holder on the body. For work, we use a simple extension cord, and an extension cord on a coil, connect to an outlet and get to work. This trimmer is ready to go.
For convenience, there is a shoulder strap. It is easily adjustable.
What kind of trimmer makes a noise? My answer is sufficient, I am even pissed off by this buzz. It is best to use headphones. When using the mower, all clothing must be covered, including the face, since when working with the mower, the mowed grass flies and hits painfully, can get anywhere. Be sure to follow safety precautions.
See how the trimmer looks in hand.
For me it is heavy, weight 4.6 kg. All the same, I think mowing is a man's work. With the years we get older, it becomes difficult to mow. By the end of the process, and it takes 2-2.5 hours, I'm exhausted. The shoulder aches, fatigue is felt. This has nothing to do with the operation of the mower, it works flawlessly and we are very pleased with it. But we already want to buy something easier for mowing. And so that it could drive and collect the grass, we still bought it. Although we have a lot of fruit trees and an uneven surface of the site. But we have become akin to this mower forever.
PROS 1Easy, relative to its petrol counterpart 2Requires minimal maintenance 3 Mowing in hard-to-reach places (around trees, fences) 4 Mowing on uneven surfaces 5 Engine location (top) 6 Power 1300 W
MINUSES 1. You need a 220W socket 2. Short cord 3. Extension cable required 4. There are overheating
In general, the manufacturer thought over almost everything, and you can ignore small errors, but I could not fail to note them.
In the end, for clarity, I will give examples of work on our site and you yourself will be convinced of the correctness of our choice.
Here you can see that we have not mowed for a long time, there was no time.

Yes, it is necessary to check the correctness of the winding.
Or it may also be: if the line is very tough (sometimes this is sold), it does not bend and does not climb out well.
Or else: the fishing line can rub the sides of the holes from which it comes out and there will be grooves from it. Corresponding the walls in these places will become tense and begin to cut the line when it presses on them.
Or here: if all else fails, universal heads are sold (500 rubles) - it fits instead of a knife - i.e. with the help of its fasteners (i.e., the main head is removed, and instead of it, as you would put on a knife, the purchased universal head is planted and screwed with the same washer and nut that the knife should be fixed with. And then mow - the universal head is semi-automatic, the fishing line should come out You just need to take a scythe and knife mounts with you to measure whether everything will fit well.
This is my information. And I also have information that I have Britk, so little parts are sold for her, and in the spare parts department they told me that her head is not optimal - it is clogged with grass (it really clogs up). According to consultants, other models do not clog this way (the braid is quite powerful, 1000 or 1200, I don’t remember exactly).
