      If your Makita Trimmer isn't reaching its maximum RPM, check if the battery is installed properly according to the manual. Also, the battery power might be dropping, so try recharging or replacing the battery. If the issue persists, the drive system may not be functioning correctly.

      If the motor of your Makita Trimmer doesn't start, possible causes include: the battery cartridge might not be installed—ensure it is properly installed. The battery may be under voltage—try recharging it, and if that doesn't work, replace the battery. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the drive system may not be working correctly.

      If your Makita Trimmer motor stops shortly after starting, it could be due to a low battery charge—recharge the battery, and replace it if recharging isn't effective. Another cause might be overheating—stop using the tool and allow it to cool down.

      If your Makita Trimmer is vibrating abnormally, stop the machine immediately! This could be because one end of the nylon cord has broken. To fix this, tap the nylon cutting head against the ground while it is rotating to feed the cord.
