Guard shattered

[wityman]

After running for about 90 minutes, the plastic blade guard ripped off from the screws. It was as if it was "old plastic". I have most of the pieces....is there any warranty on this product?

Hello wityman,

You may want to contact the place of purchase, or a Ryobi Authorized Service Center in your area and explain to them what happened. Hopefully they will take care of you.

Good luck,

just a thought to consider, check the cutting blade on the guard if you still have it to see if it was even on the guard and to see if it was sharp. I had the same thing happen and it was the string that played out and grabbed the guard and ripped it off. However, I went to a local junkyard for weedeaters and found one for a buck.
