Why does my Stihl Trimmer start then cut out?

  Your Stihl Trimmer might be cutting out due to several reasons. It could be a loose connection in the connecting cable or extension cable plug, so ensure they are securely connected. Also, the circuit breaker or ground fault interrupter may have tripped because the circuit is overloaded or faulty; determine the reason and reset it, while also reducing the number of devices on the same circuit. Another possibility is that the wall outlet's fuse rating is too low, so use an outlet with the correct fuse rating. Finally, check that the extension cable has the correct wire gauge and isn't too long.

  If your Stihl Trimmer isn't starting, begin by checking the connecting cable and extension cable plugs to ensure they are properly connected. Also, inspect the miniature circuit breaker (fuse) or ground fault circuit interrupter; if tripped, identify why and rectify the issue. Then, switch it back on and reduce the load on the circuit by switching off other devices. Verify that the wall outlet has the correct fuse rating. Lastly, ensure the extension cable’s wire gauge is correct and the cable isn't too long.

  Your Stihl Trimmer might be cutting out due to several reasons. It could be that the connecting cable plug or extension cable plug is not properly connected, so ensure they are securely plugged in. Another cause might be a tripped miniature circuit breaker (fuse) or ground fault circuit interrupter due to an overloaded or faulty circuit; in this case, determine the reason for the tripping, rectify the issue, and switch the breaker back on, while also switching off other devices on the same circuit. Also, check if the wall outlet's fuse rating is sufficient and that you are using an extension cable with the correct wire gauge and length, as an incorrect gauge or excessive length can cause issues.

  If the mowing head on your Stihl Trimmer is stuck, it may be overtightened. To remove it, block the fanwheel with the stop pin, then unscrew the mowing head by hand. Remember to remove the stop pin afterward.
