  If your Makita Lawn and Garden Equipment vibrates abnormally, several issues could be the cause. The cutting tool might be broken, bent, or worn, requiring a replacement. Alternatively, the cutting tool may be loosely attached and need tightening. If you're using a nylon cutting cord, one end may have broken, unbalancing the cutting head; try feeding the cord by tapping the head on the ground. Also, check for irregular attachment of the cutting tool and ensure it's properly attached. If none of these resolves the vibration, there may be an abnormal drive system, in which case contact an authorized service center for repairs.

  If the cutting tool on your Makita Lawn and Garden Equipment isn't rotating, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check if the cutting tool is loosely attached and tighten it securely. It's also possible that the cutting tool has caught a twig or other foreign matter, so remove any obstructions. If neither of these solutions works, the drive system may be abnormal, and you should contact an authorized service center for repairs.

  If the nylon cutting cord on your Makita Lawn and Garden Equipment isn't being cut to the correct length, it could be because the cord cutter on the protector is damaged or missing, in which case you should contact an authorized service center for repairs. Another possibility is that the cord extends past the protector, and you should rewind the cord.
