      If your Makita Brush Cutter is vibrating abnormally, stop the machine immediately. This could be due to several reasons. One of the nylon cords may have broken, causing the head to become unbalanced; bump the nylon cutting head against the ground while it is rotating to cause the cord to feed. The cutter blade might be bent, cracked, or worn, in which case it should be replaced. Also, check if the cutter blade fastening nut is loose and tighten it properly.
