Why Stihl HSA 56 Trimmer runtime is too short?

Why does my Stihl HSA 56 not start?
If your Stihl Trimmer doesn't start when switched on, it might be due to several reasons. The battery could have a low charge, so try charging 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 might be no electrical contact between the trimmer and the battery, so removing the battery and cleaning the contacts in the battery compartment before refitting it can resolve this. Also, the trimmer or battery might be damp, so allow them to dry. If the cutting blades do not move freely, spray both sides of the blades with STIHL resin solvent. If 3 or 4 LEDs continue to flash red, this indicates a malfunction, and you should contact a STIHL servicing dealer for assistance.
Why does my Stihl HSA 56 Trimmer cut out during operation?
