Troubleshooting
Tool won't turn on
Ensure the XGT 40v battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the lock-off button is engaged.
Blade binding or slow cutting
Check if the blade is sharp and appropriate for the material. Ensure the blade is correctly installed and not damaged. Reduce cutting speed and pressure. Clear any debris from the cut line or dust box.
AFT system engages frequently
This indicates the tool is sensing resistance. Reduce cutting pressure, ensure the blade is sharp, and check for any obstructions in the blade path or debris buildup around the blade housing.

Check the battery connection. If the light still does not work, contact customer support for assistance.
