  If your Stihl Trimmer does not start when switched on, there could be several reasons. The battery's charge might be too low, in which case you should charge it. Alternatively, the battery could be too warm or too cold; remove it and allow it to cool down or warm up. There might be a malfunction in the hedge trimmer, so remove the battery, clean the electrical contacts, and reinsert it. If the blades don't run freely, spray them with STIHL resin solvent. Also, the hedge trimmer could be too hot, so remove the battery and let it cool down. Another reason might be a fault in the battery, so remove and reinsert it. If there's no electrical contact, remove the battery and clean the contacts. Finally, the trimmer or battery might be damp, so allow them to dry.
