Apparently you have some wiring issues ,that can be caused by the cord being stretched away from the handle...it can be rewired near the handle by someone with electrical knowledge,,,,,,must be familiar with electicity because of the power going into it by a home source and the hazzard of using it in damp or moist grass. shock hazzard

If there are screws or bolts holding the blades together, check these are tight, but not tight enough that the blades can't move relative to each other. If the teeth aren't sharp, you can buy a small flat file to sharpen them. This is a tedious process and both cutting edges of each tooth need to be sharpened.

SOURCE: flymo sabre hedge trimmer blades move but do not cut!

It sounds as if they have come off of the spindle inside and are not synchronised as they should be so the bottom blade is being pushed out of the way when trying to cut. You need to open up the head and unscrew the top to the small gearbox and make sure the bottom blade hasn't jumped up off of the catch point on the shaft.

Stan try winding the cord in the opposite direction. It may just be wrongly wound.Also make sure it's the right diameter.

I have a Flymo Sabre cordless hedgetrimmer, which has stopped cutting anything although the blades still move. What can I do to fix it?

If there are screws or bolts holding the blades together, check these are tight, but not tight enough that the blades can't move relative to each other. If the teeth aren't sharp, you can buy a small flat file to sharpen them. This is a tedious process and both cutting edges of each tooth need to be sharpened.

Lack of information before purchase

Hi. I think I can put your mind at rest.  I work in a Flymo service agency. The Flymo Contour Cordless Power Plus has a guide wheel for accurate edging but, in common with all other Flymo edgers and trimmers, the actual cutting is done by a whirling thin (1.5mm) plastic cord that is designed to wear out and is fed from a replaceable reel under the cutter shield.  The only risk in cutting up to stone, concrete or other hard material is rapid wear of the plastic cord.  Unless your step is made of exceptionally soft stone there is no reason to think that the step will be damaged at all.
Good luck.  If this helps, please rate my response.
