Replacing the adjustment knob on a Ryobi trimmer The Facts

Trimmer out of whack? It's time to face the fix. Whether you are a legendary landscaper or a weekend weed whacker, eReplacementParts.com provides the parts, procedures and facts you need to fearlessly fix what fails you.

The adjustment knob is part of the accessory clamp assembly on your Ryobi trimmer. It allows you to tighten the clamp that secures the accessory attachments. A common problem with the adjustment knob is that the threads eventually strip, and the clamp is unable to secure the attachments.

This article provides step-by-step instructions for removing and installing the adjustment knob on a Ryobi trimmer.
