Electric Hedge trimmer will not cut

This sounds similar to a problem I have with my Bosch AHS 60 24s. The blades are moving but not independantly and therefore not in a cutting action. I took it apart and the bottom blade has slipped off the drive wheel. I put it all back as it should be but as soon as I used it again, the same thing happened. I'm not sure why this is happening, it may be that the motor end of the bottom blade has become slightly bent, so I will be trying to straighten at the weekend. The cost of replacement blades is prohibitive and time for a new hedge trimmer. Has anyone else had this problem and a different solution.

burred teeth on cutter? check for damaged teeth...if blades dont move it wont let motor turn over

Dull blades! Lol, or they're not meeting eachother on each reciprocating stroke so there is no shearing action, much like a pair of scissors. Check to see if the blade bolts are too loose or is the blades are warped or if the cutting edges are simply too dull

Removing blade will not do it - there has to be an obstruction in the drive mechanism that prevents it from turning. Leave off till fixed lest you risk burning out the motor completely. Turn on AFTER you can turn the blade freely.

look carefully along the teeth of the cutter blades and see if one tooth has not jumped over the opposite tooth thereby locking the blades together
a bent up edge will do the same effect
you can remove the cutter bar and then the cutter bar cams then run the motor
if it still hums , junk it

motor smoking is an electrical fault internally
brushes , armature of field windings problem
take it in for a proper diagnosis

oil them or loosen bolts and try

Hi
sounds like the blades should be sharpen or replaced.

spray liberally with wd40, let side and hour spray rag with wd40 and clean blades and look for any bent teeth in blade that maybe binding them as u clean use pliers and screwdriver to move if any found, it is likely that wither sap dried or rust formed and is creating too much friction for blades to move wd40 will help free up blades

you know what the problem is. it the motor magnetic ring that is
broken. it also called stationary parts of the motor.
