My Black and Decker model 400W Hedge Trimmer is giving off burning fumes when running.?

I have cleaned the brushes and contacts with no results. Do I need to buy another one or is it repairable?

    Sound like you've burnt out the motor. It will cost more to repair than replace, buy a new one with a higher power rating, then you are less likely to overload it.

    No hint will work. And it's too touchy a subject to start a conversation about. So buy some good quality cuffs and make things good and kinky. When you have her well secured, break out the electric trimmer and take care of it yourself. While you're trimming, flip the trimmer upside down and rub her clit with it. She'll think its part of the kinky sex and she'll have a nice neat beard on her clam.

    the usual reason a burning smell comes from an electric motor is the armature is burning out. one of the tests is the motor will run slowly.you should be able to get a new motor for this machine but find out the price first it may make more sense to buy a new machine and get the warranty

    Electrical tools work on smoke. Once you let the smoke out they quit working.( I'm kidding). Sounds like its time for a new trimmer.
