Why won't my Stihl HLA 65 start?
- JJoy GreenAug 31, 2025
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.
