If your Stihl Trimmer cuts out during operation, it could be overheating or experiencing an electrical malfunction. To resolve this: * Remove the battery and allow the hedge trimmer to cool down. * Remove the battery and reinsert it, then switch the hedge trimmer on again.
Why Stihl HLA 56 does not start when switched on?
The Stihl trimmer might not start due to several reasons. There could be no electrical contact between the trimmer and the battery. To solve this, remove the battery, visually inspect the electrical contacts, and reinsert the battery. The battery might also have low charge, requiring you to charge it. Alternatively, the battery or the trimmer might be too hot or too cold; in this case, allow them to reach a temperature between 50 °F to 68 °F (10 °C to 20 °C). A malfunction in the battery or trimmer could also be the reason. In such case remove and reinsert the battery. If the LEDs continue to flash, the battery or the hedge trimmer has a malfunction and must be replaced or checked by a servicing dealer.
Why won't my Stihl Trimmer start?
Several factors can prevent your Stihl Trimmer from starting: the battery may have a low charge (recharge it fully), it might be too hot or too cold (remove the battery and allow it to cool down or warm up), there may be no electrical contact between the trimmer and battery (remove the battery and clean the contacts in the battery compartment before refitting it), the trimmer or battery could be damp (allow them to dry), the cutting blades may not run freely (spray both sides of the blades with STIHL resin solvent), the trimmer might be too hot (remove the battery and let the trimmer cool down), there may be a malfunction in the battery (remove and reinsert the battery), or there could be a general malfunction in the trimmer (remove the battery, clean the contacts, refit the battery).
Why my Stihl HLA 56 Trimmer does not start?
If your Stihl Trimmer doesn't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure there's good electrical contact between the trimmer and battery by removing and reinserting the battery, checking the contacts for any issues. A low battery charge could also be the culprit, so ensure the battery is fully charged. Temperature extremes can also prevent starting; allow the battery to warm up or cool down to between 50 °F and 68 °F (10 °C to 20 °C). A malfunctioning battery or an overheated trimmer could also be the reason. Remove and reinsert the battery. If the LEDs continue to flash, do not attempt to use. The battery has a malfunction and must be replaced. If the LEDs still flash, do not attempt to use. The hedge trimmer has a malfunction and must be checked by a servicing dealer.
Why Stihl Trimmer runtime is too short?
If the Stihl Trimmer's runtime is too short, it could be due to a battery that isn't fully charged. Recharge it completely, consulting the instruction manual for the STIHL AL 101, 300, 500 chargers. Alternatively, the battery's normal lifespan might be over, and you may need to replace it.
Why Stihl HLA 56 battery is not being charged even though LED on charger glows green?
If the LED on the charger of your Stihl trimmer glows green but the battery isn't charging, the battery might be too hot or too cold. Allow the battery to gradually warm up or cool down to ambient temperatures between 50 °F to 68 °F (10 °C to 20 °C). Also, make sure that you operate the charger only in enclosed, dry rooms at ambient temperatures of 41 °F to 104 °F (5 °C to 40 °C).

A short runtime for your Stihl Trimmer could be due to the battery not being fully charged (recharge the battery fully) or because the normal battery life has been exceeded (replace the battery).
