FAQs

Can I use batteries from other WORX 20V tools?
Yes, the WX530 is part of the WORX 20V PowerShare battery platform, meaning you can use any WORX 20V Max li-ion battery with it, and vice versa.

What is the maximum cutting depth?
The maximum cutting depth is not specified in the provided information, but it is typical for compact circular saws to have a depth of around 1-2 inches.
How do I change the blade?
The saw features a spindle lock. Engage the spindle lock to hold the spindle still, then use the provided hex key to loosen and remove the blade bolt. Replace the blade and tighten the bolt securely.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
Yes, the WX530 includes one 20V battery pack (WA3551.1) and one 2A charger (WA3860).
Can it make bevel cuts?

Troubleshooting
Saw not starting
Ensure the battery is properly inserted and charged. Check if the safety lock-off button is engaged before pulling the trigger.
Inaccurate cuts
Verify the Exactrack guide is properly aligned with the material edge or guide track. Ensure the base plate is flat on the material. Check if the blade is sharp and installed correctly.
Blade binding during cut
Do not force the saw. Ensure the blade is not dull and that the cut is not too deep for the blade's length. Use the appropriate blade for the material. Check for any obstructions in the blade path.
Battery not charging
Ensure the battery contacts and charger are clean. Try a different outlet. If the issue persists, the battery may need service or replacement.
