I have just purchased a Homelite 7.2v grass trimmer/shrubber. model no. UT44170.

How do I get the charger to charge?? It has been on charge for 2 days now and is as lifeless as it was when I unwrapped it out of the box.
I am in the UK which is 240v. I have put a shaver 2 pin adapter in between the 3 pin socket (of the UK current) and the charger unit. It is still not taking on a charge of any kind. Why?

first of all you need to know if the charger is getting power? plug it into a socket in your home , that you know is working,, tv/ kettel, socket. check the fuse in the plug that is on the charger, if the plug you have on the charger is 2 pin , cut it off and put a normal plug on it , then try it, if you cut the 2 pin plug off , you will see two wires. put one to N on the new plug and the other to L, as it dont matter , because if you think about it, how do you know were to plug the two pin plug into the shaver, it will work anyway around, but change the plug and then try it, into a working socket..
