Why won't my Stihl HLA 65 start?
If your Stihl Trimmer isn't starting, several factors could be at play. The battery might have a low charge, so try fully recharging it. It's also possible the battery is either too hot or too cold; in that case, remove it and allow it to cool down or warm up. There may be no electrical contact between the trimmer and the battery, so remove the battery and clean the contacts in the battery compartment before refitting it. The trimmer or battery could be damp, so allow them to dry. If the cutting blades aren't running freely, spray both sides of the blades with STIHL resin solvent. In case of a malfunction, remove and reinsert the battery. If 3 LEDs continue to flash red, stop using the trimmer and seek assistance from your STIHL dealer.

Allow the battery to cool down or warm up slowly at a temperature of about 15°C - 20°C. Also, ensure you operate the charger only in closed, dry rooms at ambient temperatures between +5°C and +40°C.

Why is the LED on my Stihl Trimmer charger flashing red?
If the LED on your Stihl Trimmer charger flashes red, there might be a few reasons. Check that there is electrical contact between the charger and battery by removing and refitting the battery. If the battery has a fault (4 LEDs on the battery flash red for about 5 seconds), remove and refit it; if the LEDs continue to flash, the battery needs replacing. If neither of these resolves the issue, the charger itself may be faulty and should be checked by a servicing dealer.
