      If your Makita Trimmer isn't reaching maximum RPM, make sure the battery is correctly installed as described in the manual. A low battery could also be the cause; try recharging it, and if that doesn't work, replace it. If the issue continues, the drive system may not be working correctly, requiring repair by an authorized service center.

      If the Makita Trimmer motor stops running after a short time, the battery's charge level may be low. Recharge the battery, and if that doesn't solve the problem, replace the battery. Overheating could also be a factor; if so, stop using the tool and allow it to cool down.

      If the Makita Trimmer's motor isn't running, first, ensure the battery cartridge is correctly installed. If that's not the issue, the battery may be low or faulty; try recharging it, and if that doesn't work, replace the battery. If problems persist, it could be an issue with the drive system, which requires repair by an authorized service center.

    What to do if Makita XRU23 Trimmer has abnormal vibration?
    • C
      Christopher LunaAug 14, 2025
      If you notice abnormal vibration in your Makita Trimmer, it could be due to several reasons. One end of the nylon cord might be broken, in which case you should tap the nylon cutting head against the ground while it is rotating to cause the cord to feed. Alternatively, the cutting tool might be broken, bent, or worn, requiring replacement. Also, check if the cutting tool is loosely attached and tighten it securely. If none of these address the vibration, the drive system may not be working correctly, requiring repair by an authorized service center.
