Why Stihl Cordless Saw does not run when switched on?
- J
  Justin MorseSep 4, 2025
  Your Stihl Cordless Saw might not be running due to several reasons. The battery could have a low charge, so try charging it. It might be too hot or cold; in that case, remove it and allow it to reach a moderate temperature. There may be a malfunction: remove the battery, clean the contacts, re-insert it, and switch on the pruner; if the problem persists, contact your STIHL dealer. The pruner itself might be too hot, so let it cool down. Check for electrical contact issues by cleaning the contacts. Also, ensure the pruner and battery are dry. Finally, a jammed saw chain can cause this issue, so remove the battery and clean the pruner.

  If the cutting performance of your Stihl Lawn and Garden Equipment pruner is declining, here's what you should check: First, ensure the battery has sufficient charge by fully charging it.

Lastly, insufficient chain lubrication can impact cutting, so lubricate the saw chain.

- D
  Diane SanchezAug 28, 2025
  If your Stihl Saw battery isn't being charged even though the LED on the charger glows green, the battery might be too hot or too cold. Allow the battery to warm up or cool down gradually at ambient temperatures of about 50 °F to 68 °F (10 °C to 20 °C). Operate the charger indoors in a dry room, ideally between 41 °F to 86 °F (5 °C to 30 °C).

  If the battery of your Stihl Pole Saw is not charging, it could be due to several reasons. The battery might be too warm or too cold; leave it inserted in the charger, and charging will begin automatically once it reaches the correct temperature range.
