We know it sounds silly, but it’s always worth double checking that your battery is actually charged!

To charge the battery, remove it from the handle of the GT 3.0 by squeezing the green buttons on the sides of the battery. Pull it away from the trimmer. Press the green button in the middle of the battery to show the state-of-charge display – if 1 green light is shown, you will need to charge your battery.

Plug the charger into the charging port on the end of the battery. 1 green light will appear on the state-of-charge display while it charges. 4 solid green lights will illuminate when the battery is fully charged after 4 hours.

Remove the battery from the handle by squeezing the green buttons on the sides of the battery and pulling it away from the main body. Check the battery, terminals and housing for signs of damage.

Reinsert the battery into the end of the handle, ensuring the terminals line up. Push the battery inwards until you hear it click into place.

Press and hold the safety button on one side of the handle while pressing the start trigger. Only one side of the safety button can be pressed at once, so don’t try to squeeze them both at the same time!

You can release the safety button once the trimmer has started, just continue to press the start trigger. The safety button should stay pressed in while you are pressing the trigger. If it pops out, the machine will cut out.

The trigger must be continuously pressed down. The machine will stop when the trigger is released.

Remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

If the blade is jammed, the machine will cut out. Remove the battery from the trimmer and remove the obstruction(s) from the blade. Refit the battery and retry.

If the blade has been damaged, replace the blade – you can buy replacement blades online via our spares page.

Run-time will be reduced depending upon the thickness/ length of grass being cut. Check that the height adjuster has been correctly selected for grass type and length. If you are cutting something thick, try doing it in stages rather than all at once if you’re struggling. Do not attempt to trim wet grass.

Blades naturally wear down as they are used, we would recommend replacing the blade before every use or when it is worn or damaged. Lucky for you, you can easily order them through our spares page.

If you’ve worked your way through the above steps and your GT 3.0 is still not working, it may be an issue with your charger. There are a few ways you can check if there’s an issue with the charger.

When the battery is put on the charging stand, a green light should illuminate on the stand and pulsating green lights should show on the battery while it charges. If there are no lights illuminated, continue to the next step.

If the battery is fitting loosely in the charging stand, there will be excessive movement when the battery is plugged in and it may not charge correctly. Get in touch with us as we may need to send you a replacement part.

Check to see if the charger gets warm when it is charging the battery. Check for signs of damage to the charger cable. If it’s ripped or frayed, or if the terminals pins are broken on the charger, you need a replacement charger to ensure your trimmer works safely. You can buy a replacement charger online via our spares page.

Check for signs of damage to the hole in the battery that the charger goes into. If you can’t see anything wrong with your charger but it’s still not working, try plugging it into another socket as it may be an issue with the mains.

If you have a spare charger, try using that one instead – the GT 3.0 is compatible with the chargers for the AirRam/ K9, Multi/ K9, Pro/ K9, Power Floor/ K9, HT20 and Work Light.

If you’ve taken all the steps to check your battery and charger and your trimmer still isn’t charging, get in touch with us as we may need to send you a replacement part.

Remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.

Remove the blade from the hub (rotating disc) and push the blade back so that the blade pin fits into the larger hole on the blade. Lift the blade off the blade pin and check for any signs of damage.

If there are no signs of damage, hook the blade over the blade pin located on the hub (rotating disc) and pull the blade forwards firmly so that the blade pin fits into the small hole to secure it into place.

If the blade is still not fitting correctly, check that the blade pin is not damaged or try using a new blade.

Ensure the hub is securely fitted in place by the hub screw - this should be tightened before every use. If the blade pin is loose, worn or damaged, get in touch with us as we may need to send you a replacement part.
