  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.
