What to do if my GreenWorks STF306 Trimmer stops when I cut?

  Samantha HayesAug 4, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Trimmer stops while cutting, here are a few potential reasons and solutions: * Ensure the guard is properly attached. * Verify you're using the correct nylon cutting line (1.65 mm diameter). * Check for and remove any grass wrapped around the motor shaft or trimmer head. * Avoid overloading the motor by moving the trimmer head in and out of the grass, removing no more than 8" per pass. If overloaded, remove the trimmer head from the grass to allow the motor to recover. * Allow the battery pack or machine to cool down if they are too hot. * Make sure the battery pack is correctly installed and charged.

  If grass is winding around the trimmer head and motor housing of your GreenWorks Trimmer, it's likely due to cutting tall grass incorrectly. Here's how to prevent it: * Cut tall grass from the top down. * Remove no more than 8" in each pass.

  If the vibration of your GreenWorks Trimmer increases noticeably, it might be because the line is worn down unevenly. Ensure the line on both sides is normal and advance the line as needed.
