Troubleshooting

Check that both batteries are correctly installed and charged. Also, check the power switch.

Poor cutting performance or tear-out.

Ensure the correct blade is used for the material. Check the blade sharpness and replace it if necessary. Make sure the guide rail is securely attached and the cutting depth is set correctly.
