Makita · Power Tool Manual
The mower blade may not rotate if the drive system is not working correctly.
Click steps to track your progress.
Turn off the mower, remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert the battery and try starting it again.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely clicked into place. If your model uses a power cord, check it for damage and confirm it's plugged into a working outlet.
Check that the safety key (if present) is fully inserted and the start bar (handle bail) is held down. With the battery removed, carefully look under the mower for any grass buildup or debris around the blade.
If your mower has indicator lights, check your user manual to understand what any lit or flashing lights mean. Listen for any unusual clicks or sounds when you attempt to start it.
If the blade still doesn't rotate after these steps, please contact Makita customer support or an authorized service center for a professional inspection.
