Why does my Kobalt KMS 1040-03 Trimmer stop while cutting?

If your Kobalt Trimmer stops while cutting, it could be due to several reasons. First, the motor shaft or trimmer head might be bound with grass; in this case, stop the trimmer, remove the battery pack, and clear any grass. Second, the motor may be overloaded; try cutting no more than 8 inches of grass in a single pass, then remove the trimmer head from the grass and restart the tool. Third, the battery pack or string trimmer might be too hot; release the trigger switch, allow the tool to cool down, and then restart it. Finally, the guard might not be mounted, causing an overly long cutting line and overload; remove the battery pack and attach the guard to the trimmer.
