Questions and answers
runs for about10 mins. than just stops. let trimmer sit for 10 mins. than it runs does the same thing stop. seems like win it gets hot jus stops
The Shindaiwa T262X trimmer may stop running after about 10 minutes of use when it gets hot due to a plugged spark arrestor or an internal engine problem. A clogged cooling system or operating in dirty or dusty conditions can also cause overheating, leading to engine shutdown.
