  There could be several reasons why your Stihl trimmer isn't starting. It could be due to: lack of electrical contact between the trimmer and the battery (remove and reinsert the battery, visually check the electrical contacts); a low battery (charge the battery); the battery being too hot or too cold (allow it to reach a temperature between 50 °F and 68 °F); a battery malfunction (if the LEDs continue to flash, the battery must be replaced); the hedge trimmer being too hot (allow it to cool down); or a malfunction in the hedge trimmer itself (if the LEDs still flash, have it checked by a servicing dealer).

  Your Stihl trimmer might not start due to several reasons: there's no electrical contact between the trimmer and the battery, the battery has a low charge, the battery is too hot or cold, there's a malfunction in the battery, the trimmer is too hot, or there's a malfunction in the trimmer. You can try removing and reinserting the battery, visually checking the electrical contacts, charging the battery, allowing the battery/trimmer to warm up or cool down, or replacing the battery if necessary. If the LEDs continue to flash, the hedge trimmer has a malfunction and must be checked by a servicing dealer.

It could also be too hot or too cold; remove it and let it cool down or warm up. There might be a malfunction; in this case, remove the battery, clean the contacts, re-insert it, and switch on the trimmer. If 3 LEDs continue to flash red, contact your STIHL servicing dealer.
