How do I get this tool apart to clean it.

The tool will not start every time I squeeze the trigger. If I turn it by hand it will run. Sometimes it does run when I squeeze the trigger. Thanks, Phil

Think you need to replace the motor brushes. As they wear they get shorter and the spring that pushes them up against the commutator is now at the end of its travel. Replace brushes or stretch the spring a tad.

Brand new chainsaw MS231 251 When cold starting, I am squeezing the throttle trigger lockout and he trigger at the same time as per p28 of manual. They don't stay locked. Aren't they supposed to?

I expect the design of your new chainsaw will be similar to many small engined tools where owners often discover they need an extra hand.

Usually the throttle is opened (trigger pulled) and then the trigger lock is pressed and the trigger released. The lock will hold the throttle partway open; freeing both hands to hold the tool steady and pull the starter. The partway open throttle makes starting easier and once started, the engine will run fast aiding a quick warmup and less chance of dying or fading.
Once the engine has warmed enough so the choke can be disengaged, a quick squeeze of the trigger will allow the trigger lock to disengage...

Pressure washer struggles when trigger is squeezed....

When the trigger is pressed, the engine should kick up to increase speed and thus pressure. There is a problem with either gas flow or the air is blocked (new air filter?), so I would start by cleaning the carb and make sure the small gas port is open (run a pipe cleaner through it).

I start my trimmer and it will run fine for about a minute from a cold start. But after that minute it stalls when I squeeze the trigger. From that point it is even difficult for me to get it running...

Check your fuel filter in the fuel tank to make sure it is clean if it is then"
Sounds like you will need to clean the carburetor or replace your carburetor internal rubber parts like the diaphgram and O rings.
Be sure to use compressed air to blow out all the fuel and air passages.
Be careful when blowing out the passages, because there are sometimes small rubber type seats in the bottom of some of the passages.
Sometimes you can get by with priming the carburetor or using starting fluid and letting it run a few times like that and it will flush the gunk out of the jets,but most of the time you will need to rebuild the carburetor.
Keep in mind that the float for the carburetor must be level when you go to reassemble the carburetor or follow the instrucitons you get with the carburetor kit.
If the mower/weedeater is over a year old, then I also recommend that you buy and install a new carburetor repair kit,because the diaphragm will get hard and that will cause it to be hard to crank.
When you clean your carburetor and remove the jet screws, you will first need to lightly seat the jet screws.
But before you lightly seat the jet screws count the number of turns it takes to seat the jet screws from their original position.
Be sure to mark the turns down on a piece of paper.
That way when you put the jets back in, you know to lightly seat them first and then turn them back out to their orginal position before you started.

The switch is intermittent. The saw has #5375 on the nameplate. I t has the two-handed safety switch where you have to push the red one with one hand and squeeze the trigger with the other hand. Sometimes...

Simply the switch will need replacing and this can be obtained from the mfr or you can get it repaired at a local tool repair center. Get it replaced asap.

Hoover Steamvac hose won't spray water

SOLUTION#1 If the attachment wont spray water, the white plastic nozzle tip may be clogged. Take the brush attachment off, remove the two screws from the gray retaining cover (BE CAREFUL THE WHITE TIP UNDER THE BLACK PLASTIC TRIGGER MECHANISM IS SPRING LOADED and WILL GO FLYING). The trigger mechanism can be taken apart by lifting the black part off (may have to slide it back slightly), remove the spring from the white plastic valve insert, then take a flat screw driver and carefully pry the two white pieces apart and blow out both ends. You may have to find a hair size piece of wire to push threw it to clear it. The whole process is really simple once you take it apart and see how it works. Putting it together is in reverse order. The white piece will only go in to the black part one way and with the spring on you need to push it through the hole and the trigger part hooks on, slide it back on to the hose, then while holding it all, and put the gray retaining cover back on. Sounds more difficult than it really is. If your not mechanically inclined take some pictures as your taking it apart to refer to.
Solution#2 If the nozzle and trigger are clear, with the trigger assembly off the hose, plug the hose into the shampooer and turn it on (if the hose inside the suction hose is clear you should start seeing water flowing out the hose. If not run a piece of wire through that hose to unclog it. If its still not flowing then the Pump on the unit needs to be replaced.
Solution #3Cost Around $20 with shipping online. Google your make and model, and upholstery attachemnt pump. Mine was called AP4561692 (43582018) PUMP ASSM, from http://www.appliancepartspros.com/. (there real good about the live chat and helping you find the part).There are Youtube videos on taking apart the shampooer, which is pretty easy. The one place that might give you problems after you get down to taking the pump off, there is only one screw holding but there is on the bottom side of the pump a black bump that clips in to the base of the shampooer and you need to stick a screw driver from the bottom up and pry the base one way and pull the pump the other to unhook it.

Using stair attachment, ++water leaks onto floor under the unit;

It may be necessary to remove air from
the system (“prime the pump”) so the
clean solution will flow to the tool properly. Follow
these steps:
1. Attach tool to hose and turn the deep
cleaner ON.
2. Put the tool on a hard surface or
against your hand to block off the suction.
3. Wait a few seconds (can take up to
15 seconds). Then squeeze the trigger
and begin cleaning.
