how do i get my trimmer to work?

Find someone confident with hand tools and with a basic understanding of electricity - ask them nicely to repair it for you. (shorten cable or new cable or in-line plug & socket)

I repaired my mother-in-law's recently - 20 minutes - she was complaining of tinkling feelings in her leg when she used it - the neutral conductor was exposed!
