Why would the blades stop moving after the first 10 minutes?

No. I oiled them first with with a real light oil such as 3n1, and they never stopped ever!

I am assuming the engine starts and is running and the blades stopped moving. Check to see if any twigs, sticks, cllippings, branches etc. are jammed in the blades. Check to see if the nuts that keep the blades bolted together are too tight. Is the trimmer brand new or used?

Check for any debris and then oil and if that does not work loosen the screws they could be too tight.

The bolts that secure the blades together may have been screwed on too tight.

What do you mean? Do the blades keep spinning until the battery runs out? Or the switch won't flip to turn off?

I had a similar problem with a new mower. Try pushing the start button in and holding it in until, hopefully, the blade moves.

Be sure the clutch is totally engaged in the out position. If the blade is not turning that is your problem.

The only suggestion I can offer is that each blade should read "This side out for 1/4" cuts". If this is the case then it may be possible the set is defective.

that means you have tightened the screws that hold the blades to tight,make sure they are tight but not too tight, make sure the blades can swivel easily ,all 4 need to be able to swing back and forth freely.another thing, check the gears, ive had to replace my gears already, mostly the main gear in the rear of the chopper. but I put money on it you tightened the blades down to tight ,so just back the screws out 1 to 2 turns and try it , ive found a lot of good info on youtube .. hope that helps !!!!

When cleaning the blades make sure the blade is completely dry before reassembling. If its not dry the blade will show corrosion and cutting will turn into pulling. I don't think these units were designed to last very long and are throw away units. Panasonic jacks up the shipping costs so they can make you purchase another unit.

I had the same thing happen. Mine are 15 months old, and I've oiled them after (nearly) every use. They just started making a bad buzzing sound, and now they won't cut at all. I think it is the plastic piece that holds the moving blade, as you describe... I will try one more, but if it breaks I may invest in a $120 true professional clipper...

That usually happens to me when the hood gets clogged. And that does happen quit a bit. I'll blow air into the blades (Without going past the edge) that sometimes clear it.

I take it when you say it moves you mean the self-propel feature works. That would mean your battery is OK and the connections there are good, so it must mean the connection from battery to blade isn't working. I'd check to make sure it isn't anything mechanical (something that isn't moving when you pull the blade control bar back or something like that) and if you can't find anything there you're probably going to find someone who can service it for you. Hope this helps.

I had a lot of trouble at first and then it started working fine. The lever you push forward to release the blade wasn't going far enough forward. Work it and see if it loosens up and goes nearly all the way forward, where it is almost parallel with the blade. Then the blade will come out easily. Hope that works for you.

nope. the blade is integrated and you would have to break it. I had that same issue.

I've found I can get it to stop by tightening the nut on the bottom that holds the blade mechanism in place. It's a temporary fix.

yes. the problem you are experiencing is what i experienced. the trouble shooting recommended getting new blade for the machine. I did that and that did not help at all. I think it is defected. I ended up throwing mine out because i was pass warranty and i could not deal with the loud noise and intense vibrations. If yours is still under warranty, then use it.

Sometime in the future you may want to buy replacement blades. I use mine everyday and get about 12 to 15 months before I have to replace them.

You should try cleaning it. You can run your vacuum hose over the front and back and hopefully it will unclog the blades.

All I can say is that the blades should move end to end not back and forth/side to side. I have not had this problem/issue so I cannot say for sure what to or not to do. Good luck.
