I have a proper level of oil. It only runs on high speed. When adjusting the belts and pulling the clutch for slow speed the blade doesn't move at all.Any suggestions???

Make sure the clutch is totally engaged. You can contact Jet's tech department is you continue to have problems. They can be reached atg 800-274-6846.

A couple of things you might try....Make sure the blade is centered on the top guide as it should be and that the blade tension is correct...Mine had to be adjusted when I first started it, (as per the owners manual)....Make sure the clutch is moving to the lower speed setting (I'm assuming you do not have the variable speed clutch) When changing the clutch setting, make sure you turn the knob clockwise prior to engaging, (as per the owners manual), to make sure it engages at the lower speed setting...Took me awhile to figure this out.... Hope this helps...

I too thought that the gearbox was broken. Turns out the gearbox speed change mechanism sometimes wouldn't engage fully whether pushing or pulling. Make the belts are aligned and the clutch knob is secure first. I found that if I spun the blade pulley slowly by hand while firmly engaging the clutch knob the internal gears would engage and viola! I now had the new speed. In time the gears should wear-in enough that speed changing will become much easier. I also make sure that power is disconnected from the saw before I grab the pulleys. Don't want to damage or lose any fingers.-Bud,

Had the same problem. Easy solution. You are not pulling the clutch handle out far enough to engage the drive.

Be sure the clutch is totally engaged in the out position. If the blade is not turning that is your problem.

I usually pinch the blade and pull. I find there to be just the right amount of resistance. If you are having a hard time, yours may be defective or bent at the joint, causing it to be tighter than it should be.

I had the motor slow down when the knife I was sharpening was a thick blade. Just hold it with a lighter touch and it worked fine.

Your question is a little vague but I will assume you are having the same problem I had. Namely, the chain flying off or jamming. Note it is VERY important to frequently oil the front cog (the one with the spikes on it at the tip of the blade). There are two holes at the front in order to do this. HOWEVER, there appears to be a manufacturing / design / manufacturing quality problem that Husqvarna are not owning up to with the bearings on the front cog. With the chain removed, the front cog SHOULD turn relatively smoothly. Mine did not despite regular (almost every log cut) oiling. I bought a new blade and had the problem with the chain seizing and/or just flying off. My local dealer had an old blade which I have used without the problem ever since. And you are using the correct bar and chain oil I assume... with the wrong viscosity you will have problems.

I had the same problem when I first attached the blade....and the instructions sucked; I had to figure out how to do it myself. Vibrated so bad that I couldn't hold it. I simply took the blade off and flipped it over and reattached it and that solved it completely. It runs as smoothly and powerfully as I could want now.

Hi mark. Without knowing " how fast is enough" for what you are doing, I would hazard a guess that there is a problem with your grinder. They should have a max rotation of about 10,000 rpm max.

Not that I know of.. I have mot had this issue. What kind of oil are you using... if to thin try a thicker one if possible. This little saw has been great

The speed adjustment on mine works beutifully though I have trouble balancing material, speed, blade tension, and material feed rate. On occasion the motor bogs at low speed in which case I have to back off, let it regain speed, then feed the material more slowly. My greatest wish is for an easier blade change mechanism.

Sounds like the motor burnt out due to the faulty bearing under the blender blades.It will be an on going issue. I agree with M. Sloan.

I have had the same problem with the main belt falling off. It appears that the large and small pulleys are not lined up forcing the belt to ride on the edge of the large pulley nearest the blades. There seems to be no way to align the pulleys. Next stop is the dealer.

Does the display show the razor is activated when this happens? If it does the motor is becoming jammed. Remove the cutter foil, and blade, and put a drop of oil on the piece that oscillates back and forth after cleaning it. It's probaly gummed up.

Try moving the choke lever around ours seems to be off( turned to full choke otherwise it doesn't run). Also don't forget to put the oil in the machine , it is in kind of a strange place

This is an accessory plug-in speed control unit. I've only used it on small rotating motor type things. It slows them down by adjusting the power. The motor still seems to have been fine just not as fast when the unit is adjusted. I guess I don't really understand the question, what kind of power tool would need to be slowed down while maintaining full power?

You have to engage the clutch first, left handle. This drives the reel blade. I find the unit is light enough to move easily without the drive, such as in close areas. The right handle engages the drive. The clutch must also be engaged for the drive to operate which means the blade runs if using the drive. Unit is easy to move about with power off. Pay close attention to position of the fuel flow switch and the engine choke, they are easy to confuse. Very happy with 17 inch unit. bagger is one of the best designed I have ever seen. well constructed unit , high quality engine. should last along time .

The automatic oiler of the Makita UC4030 I bought last year does not deliver sufficent oil to the bar. I manually oil the bar.

I had to return it for the sane reason. Check the oil level though. Aomeone told me that may be the reason.

Interesting thing...I experienced this issue yesterday as well. The wire which opens throttle for auger and connected to the bar which engages it gets a bit loose. Try to pull it with your hand, you will see the difference. That being said, there is a metal plate with holes under the rubber cover on that wire where you can adjust tension of the wire connected to the throttle. Please note it is not easy to do, sometimes, if no one helps you. But it is doable. Let me know if you have further questions.
