If your edger blades won't turn, it could be due to a variety of reasons. Check if the drive belt is intact and properly connected. Also, make sure the blade clutch or engagement lever is functioning correctly. If these components are fine, you might need to inspect the blade assembly for debris or obstructions that could be preventing the blades from turning. If the issue persists, it might be best to consult the manufacturer's manual or seek professional assistance.
