Troubleshooting

The Electronic Motor Protection may have engaged due to overloading. Allow the tool to cool for several minutes and reduce the pressure applied to the cut.

Poor cutting quality or burning

The blade may be dull or resin-coated. Clean the blade with a resin remover or replace it with a sharp, appropriately matched blade for the material.
