Troubleshooting

Saw is not cutting effectively

Check chain tension, ensure it is sharp, and that the chain lubrication is adequate. Also, ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.

Chain is loose or has fallen off

Stop the saw immediately. Re-tension the chain using the SDS system and ensure it is correctly seated on the bar. Do not operate if the chain continues to be loose.

Battery does not charge or power the saw

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted into the charger and the charger is plugged into a working power outlet. Clean the battery and charger contacts. If the issue persists, the battery or charger may need replacement.

Saw stops unexpectedly

Check the battery charge level. Ensure there are no blockages in the cutting path or debris around the motor housing that could cause overheating.

If the chain needs tensioning or replacement, follow the instructions on the tool, typically involving a knob or lever.

Keep the chain lubrication reservoir filled. Ensure the air vents are clear of dust and debris for proper motor cooling.
