Troubleshooting

Saw blade not spinning

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and charged. Check if the safety lock-off switch is engaged.

Uneven or rough cuts

Verify the saw blade is sharp and appropriate for the material being cut. Ensure the blade is correctly installed and the guard is functioning properly. Consider using a guide rail for straighter cuts.

Excessive dust not being collected

Confirm that a vacuum cleaner is properly connected to the dust port. Check for any blockages in the dust port or within the vacuum hose.
