Why Stihl Lawn Mower motor does not start?

  If your Stihl Lawn Mower motor won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure there is mains voltage and check the fuse. If that's not the issue, inspect the connection cable, plug, plug connector, or switch for any defects and replace if necessary. Make sure you press the start button. Also, the motor might be overloaded if the grass is too tall or wet, so adjust the cutting height. The motor overload protection might have activated, so allow the machine to cool down. Check if the mower housing is blocked and clean it. Finally, if you have a GB version, the fuse in the plug might be faulty, so replace it.

  If your Stihl Lawn Mower provides a poor cut and the lawn is turning yellow, it could be because the mowing blade is blunt or worn. Try re-sharpening or replacing the mowing blade. Also, the rate of feed might be too high in relation to the cutting height, so reduce the rate of feed and/or select the correct cutting height.

Another reason could be power overload, in which case you should connect the machine to another circuit. The machine might also be overloaded due to mowing grass that is too long or wet, so adjust the cutting height and mowing speed to the mowing conditions.
