Troubleshooting

Tool does not start when the trigger is engaged.

Check that the battery is fully inserted and charged. Ensure the safety lock-off mechanism is not engaged.

Blade wanders or does not follow the cut line.

Check the blade guide for debris and ensure the blade is correctly seated in the clamp. Use a blade with higher teeth-per-inch (TPI) for intricate curves.
