  If 4 LEDs flash red, it could indicate a fault in the battery, no electrical contact, or that the hedge trimmer or battery is damp. First, remove and reinsert the battery, then switch on the hedge trimmer. If the LEDs continue to flash red, stop using the battery. Also, ensure there's proper electrical contact by removing the battery and cleaning the electrical contacts in the battery compartment before reinserting it. Finally, allow the hedge trimmer or battery to dry if damp.

  The Stihl Trimmer's runtime might be too short because the battery isn't fully charged. Recharge it fully, following the instructions in the User Manual for the STIHL AL 101, 300, 500 chargers. Alternatively, the battery life may be exceeded, in which case you should replace it.

  If the running time of your Stihl Trimmer is too short, it could be due to several reasons. The battery may not be fully charged, so ensure you charge it completely. The battery's useful life might also be reached or exceeded, requiring a check and possible replacement. Additionally, check if the blades are sticking or dirty; if so, clean them and spray with STIHL resin solvent. Bent blades can also cause this issue, so have them checked by a servicing dealer.

Why my Stihl HSA 66 Trimmer does not start when switched on?
- A
  Austin LittleAug 27, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Stihl Trimmer might not start when switched on. It could be due to a low battery charge, which requires a recharge. Alternatively, the battery might be too hot or too cold, needing time to adjust to a moderate temperature. A malfunction in the hedge trimmer itself, or the cutting blades not moving freely, can also prevent it from starting. Other potential causes include the trimmer overheating, a battery malfunction, poor electrical contact between the trimmer and battery, or dampness affecting either the trimmer or the battery.

  Your Stihl Trimmer might cut out during operation due to the battery or machine's electronics overheating; in this case, remove the battery and allow both to cool down. Another cause could be an electrical or electromagnetic malfunction. To resolve this, remove the battery and then refit it.
