Troubleshooting

The saw doesn't start.

The saw cuts slowly.

Check the blade for sharpness and material suitability. Increase the speed setting if appropriate for the material.

The blade is difficult to install or remove.

Make sure that the blade clamp is fully open before attempting to insert or remove the blade. Inspect the clamp for any obstructions.
