  If the motor of your Makita Lawn Mower stops running after a short period, it could be due to: a low battery charge level, in which case you should recharge the battery cartridge (and replace it if recharging isn't effective); a cutting height that is too low, so increase it; or cut grass clogged in the mower, so remove the clogged grass.
