Troubleshooting
Saw won't turn on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check the battery connection and the saw's power switch.
Poor cut quality or tear-out
Check the blade for damage or dullness and replace it if necessary. Ensure the blade is appropriate for the material being cut. Use the correct speed setting for the material.
Saw binds or stops during cut
Ensure the blade is aligned and the material is not pinching the blade. Slow down the feed rate if necessary. Check the guide rail alignment and the workpiece for squareness.
Dust extraction is not working properly
Check that the dust extraction port is connected securely to a vacuum. Clear any blockages in the dust extraction system.
