      If your Makita Trimmer is vibrating abnormally, it could be due to several reasons. * One end of the nylon cord might be broken – tap the nylon cutting head against the ground while rotating to feed the cord. * Broken plastic blade(s) – replace them with new ones. * If these steps don't solve the vibration, the drive system may not be working correctly, and you should consult an authorized service center.
