I have an Easicut 6000 XT which jammed. I loosened (do not remove) the bolts along the blade and gently prised the blades open a few millimeters. I them applied engine oil along the blade edges that rub together. I then re-tightened the bolts and all worked perfectly again. To avoid happening again oil blades regularly.

Periodically the trimmer blades should be oiled, as they will build up with sap & debris and bind them up - Weed-Eater trimmer user manual has a section on this.
If that does not free the blades, you may have to open the blade drive cam housing and grease the mechanism to free it up.
