Troubleshooting
Saw does not start
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and charged. Check if the safety switch is engaged. If the issue persists, try a different compatible battery.
Blade stops during cut
This may indicate overload protection has activated. Release the trigger and allow the motor to cool. Reduce the cutting depth or speed of advancement. Ensure the blade is sharp and not binding.
Inaccurate cuts
Verify that the depth and bevel settings are correctly adjusted and locked. Ensure the parallel stop is properly aligned and secured. Check if the laser guide is calibrated and visible.
Poor cut quality (splintering)
Ensure you are using a sharp, appropriate blade for the material. Reduce cutting speed. Support the workpiece properly on both sides of the cut.
