  Kyle ClarkAug 4, 2025
  If your EGO Trimmer isn't working, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the battery pack is correctly attached. If it is, remove the battery and check for any issues with the contacts, then re-install it. The battery might be depleted, so try charging it. Also, the battery pack or the trimmer itself could be too hot; remove the battery and let them cool down below 67°C and 77°C respectively. Make sure you're depressing both switch levers simultaneously. Finally, check for a jammed blade; if present, remove the battery, carefully clear the obstruction, and restart the tool.

  If your EGO Trimmer fails to start, it could be due to several reasons. The Main PCB or its wires might be broken, requiring a replacement of the PCB Assembly. Alternatively, the blade could be jammed by an obstruction, causing it to curve or deform; in this case, clear the obstruction or replace the Blade Set. Another possibility is that the motor is jammed because of foreign objects stuck inside, necessitating replacement of the Motor And Gear Assembly. Also, gears may be jammed due to broken teeth, requiring you to replace the faulty gears. Finally, the switch levers could be malfunctioning, which means you'll need to replace the Switch Lever.

  Jason LewisAug 19, 2025
  Excessive vibration or noise in your EGO Trimmer can stem from a few issues. The blades might be dry or corroded, requiring lubrication. Loose blade bolts can also cause this, so tighten them using a wrench, turning clockwise. Bent or damaged teeth can also cause vibration and noise.

  Excessive vibration and soft start failure in your EGO Trimmer can stem from a few issues. The Main PCB might be broken, in which case you should replace the PCB Assembly. Another cause could be an unbalance or breakage of the motor, which would require replacing the Motor And Gear Assembly. It's also possible that the Eccentric Block is over-worn, necessitating its replacement. Finally, dust adhered to the switch can cause this problem, so clearing the dust might resolve the issue.
