Troubleshooting
Tool stops unexpectedly while cutting
The AFT (Active Feedback Sensing) may have tripped due to a sudden resistance or blockage. Ensure the grass is not tangled in the head and restart the unit.
Trimmer is not reaching full speed
Check the battery charge level and ensure the speed setting is not locked to 'low' mode. If the battery is charged, check for debris wrapped around the trimmer spindle.
Excessive vibration during operation
Inspect the trimmer head for damage or unbalanced line spooling. Ensure the head is securely attached to the shaft.
