  If you notice abnormal vibration in your Makita Trimmer, it could be due to several reasons. One end of the nylon cord might be broken – try bumping the nylon cutting head against the ground during operation to feed the cord. Alternatively, the cutter blade might be bent, cracked, or worn, in which case you should replace it. Also, check if the cutter blade fastening nut is loose and tighten it properly. If none of these solutions work, the drive system may be faulty and require professional repair.

  If the Makita Trimmer motor stops shortly after starting, it could be due to a few reasons. Check if the rotation is reversed and change the direction of rotation with the reversing switch. The battery might also be nearly flat, so try recharging it, or replace it if recharging isn't effective. Overheating can also cause this issue, so allow the equipment to rest for a while.

  If your Makita Brush Cutter experiences abnormal vibration and you've stopped the machine immediately, there are several potential causes. Check if one of the nylon cords is broken, causing the head to become unbalanced; try bumping the nylon cutting head against the ground to feed the cord. Inspect the cutter blade for bending, cracks, or wear, and replace it if necessary. Also, make sure the cutter blade fastening nut is tightened properly. Note that improper cutter blade fastening may also be the cause. If none of these address the vibration, the drive system may need professional repair.
