Troubleshooting

Trimmer shuts down during operation

The battery protection circuit may have triggered due to overheating or excessive load. Allow the tool to cool down and ensure you are not cutting branches thicker than 20mm.

Blade is cutting poorly or jamming

Check the blade for excessive sap or debris buildup. Clean the blades thoroughly and apply a light machine oil. Also, check for damaged teeth on the cutting blade.
