Nut, M12X1.25 A100704

In your edger, this nut attaches the cutting blade to the drive shaft assembly. Having a 12-millimeter diameter and a thread pitch of 1.25mm, it secures the blade so that you can effectively cut through grass, weeds, or other vegetation. A broken nut becomes loose during operation, disengaging the cutting blade. You may also notice that it is cracked, fractured, or its threads have been stripped. If a damaged nut is not replaced, you will experience uneven trimming. This also poses a safety concern as injuries may happen if the blade detaches during operation. To remove this nut from your machine, you need to immobilize the blade using a blade lock so it does not rotate. Using a wrench or a socket, loosen the nut by turning it counterclockwise. You can then continue to unscrew it by hand before removing it from the blade completely. Before adding this OEM replacement part to your cart, please keep in mind that this nut is sold individually and separately from the cutting blade.
