  If the cutting tool of your Makita Brush Cutter does not rotate, and you've stopped the machine immediately, it could be due to several reasons. First, check for any foreign objects, like branches, jammed between the guard and the cutting head or blade and remove them. Next, ensure the cutter blade fastening nut is properly tightened. If the blade is bent, it will need to be replaced. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it may indicate a problem with the drive system, requiring professional repair.

  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.

  If your Makita Brush Cutter motor stops running soon after you start using it, it could be due to a few reasons. Check if the rotation is reversed and, if so, change the direction using the reversing switch. A low battery charge can also cause this, so recharge the battery or replace it if recharging isn't effective. Overheating can also cause the motor to stop; in this case, stop using the tool and allow it to cool down.
