Troubleshooting

Saw won't start.

Check the battery charge level and ensure the battery is correctly inserted. If the battery is charged and properly inserted, inspect the switch levers for any debris or damage.

Blade is not cutting effectively.

Make sure you are using the correct blade type for the material. Check that the blade is securely fastened in the tool-less clamp and is not damaged or dull.

Saw stops during operation.

This may be due to the battery protection circuit activating. Reduce the cutting pressure, or allow the saw to cool down and try again. Ensure that you are not overloading the saw by cutting material that is too thick.

LED light not working.

Check that the battery is correctly inserted and charged. If the light still doesn't work, contact Makita customer support.
