pull the unlock latch, hold with flat head screw driver, and pull the cable. if its old, spray with DW40, if new, reason is the cable is still and you did not roll it back right. its overlapped. hope this helped

Disassemble and make sure the final cable (can't remember what it is called.. But it's the last thing you do before you start re screwing everything together) is clamped good. I had to give it 2 tries before this worked. Good luck!

Had the same problem. Easy solution. You are not pulling the clutch handle out far enough to engage the drive.

Not sure never had this problem. Sounds like the drive cable/rod is not engaging.

Try spraying a little WD-40 (lubricant and source of a gazillion fixes) on the seam and let it rest for 10 minutes, or so. You should be able to separate the two parts. Then, as a matter of maintenance, rub a very light film of Vaseline on the base piece. You shouldn't have the problem any longer.

Just remove the only screw on the side the handle and pull apart. Hope this helps.

There should be a flat wrench that came with the porter cable.also when this is remove you should have access to the counter weight for 6 or 5 inch disks. I believe the extra counter weight is purchased separate.

Pull it strongly to remove. NEVER drill, there's a thread for the air coupler

I took it to a Hitachi service guy. Basically he took it all apart and forced it on. There must be an easier way.So I would appreciate how to do it.ThanksRCR

I just used a thin screwdriver or an awl would work. Just push down on it, it breaks off pretty easily. The just turn it over and shake it so the piece fall out.

The end of the cable has a plug that fits in a hole through the outer sleeve and the inner slide box. When you unlock it, the plug pulls out and you can then slide the inner box off the sleeve and retrieve the contents.

Normally you just push in the 2 thingies on the side and pull it off. If you are having trouble doing this, it is probably because some line got jammed, and that's why the feed isn't working. You might have to use a knife blade or other tool to pry the reel out.

Just to add to the other answers. It is a tight fit in my car, so it doesn't come out up I pull on the cable. But there is enough length to grab it with your thumb and index finger for removal.

Take off the silicone covering. There is a square tab on each side & the top. Those click open (from bottom side I think) and this allows the shell to come apart.

The cable from the handle lever to inside the case gets loose. Under the cover there is a 90degree bracket. Bend it slightly to increase tension on the cable. The cable should initiate a switch that makes a click when it engages. I had to slightly bend the bracket on my mower and it has worked ever since.

With an allen wrench that they provide. You unplug the cable and take them out. I bought the covers also and that protects them.

I had the same problem until I realized that the cables are completely detachable which is great. So I just pulled them out all together and thennplugged them back in. Hope that helps.
