Quick answer
Replace loose or missing screws on your Absolute Hitter trimmer by using the dedicated spare screw set. Follow the steps below to swap out damaged housing screws, blade screws, and small parts without damaging the trimmer.
When to use the spare screw set
Over time, the small screws on your Absolute Hitter trimmer can loosen from vibration or strip during removal. The spare screw set includes three housing screws, two blade screws, a spare button, and a bumper, so you can address common wear points without buying a whole new trimmer.
A common trade-off: the set does not include a screwdriver or bit. You will need a small Phillips-head screwdriver to complete the replacement. Using the wrong size bit can strip the new screws, so check fit before applying force.
Step-by-step replacement process
- Remove the old screws: Use a small Phillips-head screwdriver to remove all visible screws from the housing and blade area. Keep the old screws aside for size comparison. Common mistake: using a bit that is too large can strip the screw head. Match the bit snugly before turning.
- Replace the housing screws: Take three new housing screws from the set and thread them into the housing holes. Tighten until snug but do not overtighten. Overtightening can crack the plastic housing. Stop as soon as the screw head sits flush.
- Install the blade screws: Align the blade correctly, then insert the two blade screws from the set. Tighten evenly so the blade stays straight. If the blade wiggles after tightening, remove and realign before tightening again.
- Replace the button and bumper (if needed): If the power button or bumper is damaged, pop out the old part and press the new one into place. No tools required. Check that the button clicks freely after installation. A stuck button means it is not seated correctly.
- Test the trimmer: Turn on the trimmer and run it for a few seconds. Listen for rattling and check that all screws remain tight. If you hear a rattle, one screw may be loose. Tighten it slightly and test again.
