  If the cutting tool of your Makita Lawn Mower doesn't rotate, stop the machine immediately. This could be because a foreign object, like a branch, is jammed near the blade. Remove any foreign objects that may be obstructing the blade. If the issue persists, it may be due to a problem with the drive system.
