  If the EGO Lawn and Garden Equipment power head stops during operation, it might be due to several reasons. The motor could be overloaded; it will recover once the load is reduced, so decrease the load. Alternatively, the battery pack or the power head may be too hot; allow them to cool down until the temperature is below 152°F (67°C). Also, check if the battery pack is disconnected and re-install it. Finally, the battery pack might be depleted, so charge it using the EGO chargers listed in this manual.

  If the motor of your EGO Lawn and Garden Equipment fails to start, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the battery pack is properly attached to the power head. If it is, check for any lack of electrical contact between the power head and the battery pack; remove the battery, inspect the contacts, and reinstall the battery pack until it clicks into place. Another possibility is a depleted battery pack, which requires charging with EGO chargers listed in this manual. Lastly, make sure you are pressing down the lock-off button and holding it while depressing the trigger to turn on the edger.

  Sandra GarzaAug 18, 2025
  An uneven edge on your EGO Lawn and Garden Equipment can be caused by a couple of things. The grass or soil being edged might be too wet; avoid edging in these conditions. Alternatively, the blade guard could be clogged. To resolve this, stop the motor, remove the battery pack, and clear any debris from the blade guard.
