how long do you run it at once? mine just stopped in 6-7 minutes and i have to wait for 20minute to re-run it. is that normal? manual says 20min max.

I am running it for longer periods but it is much weaker than it's gas powered cousin and gets stuck easily

The motor has a thermo cut out to protect the motor If you put to much down pressure the motor will heat up the motor faster, try using mild pressure and see what happens. I did not run my saw that long, project was small and the saw worked great. Good Luck!!

If you use a long extension cord or one not rated for 20 amps your continuous run time will be reduced. Don't try to cut too fast , make sure the blade is good . The thermal Protection keeps the motor from getting too hot.If you need to run it for long times outdoors the gas model can run much longer..

The breaker trips sometimes, but i never had a problem running the saw a long time. I run it for 2 hrs at a time on many occasions.

Did you turn it up on high? Mine had to be run on high for a few minutes and then could turn it down. I never really liked how it worked but waited too long to decide to return it and didn't. Hope you have better luck!

I believe it runs for somewhere between 45 seconds or 1 minute. Then stops. You can find the manual on the internet.

Don't know. How old is machine? How long did you run it, at what temp? I've never run mine more than 4 hours, as it seems to dry things out quickly, even when making jerky. Did the heating element go out? Did the circuit blow? Too many variables.

It runs for the amount of time you set it to run & then cuts off. It does not cycle.

I ran it without any food in it for about ten minutes. It worked fine. But after I used it only three times in the first month one of the controls stopped working and it doesn't go on anymore. Since it was too late to return it and the manufacturer wanted so much money to repair or replace it I bought a Black and Decker one instead. Good luck!

I never tried to run it long enough for it to stop. I had it on a timer that would cycle 10-15 seconds every minute or so. I was just laying down a ground cover of fog...

I've had mine running non-stop for 6 months. No issues. I use it at work as a back up machine, never turn it off.

I start mine about 10 PM and it will run all night and shuts off around 7 AM. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

It runs 5-10 minutes, no longer than 15. My husband said he thinks you can program it to run longer. He didn't mess with it.

You have to hold down the button. Also the manual says not to run it continuously for more than 1 minute at a time, which seemed odd to me.

The two of mine start, run, idle and stop normally -- very pleased with both. When I had a minor problem after unpacking the second one, the company that shipped the unit was very accommodating. Why not check with them?

Mine ran about 7 or 8 occasions, for about 4 minutes each time, over about 3 or 4 months, then quit working. It came with NO warranty, nor a repair facility to return for repair. I was left with no choice but to throw it in the trash. I would strongly advice not buying this item!!!!

The instructions say not to run it for more than 15 min at a time. If you let it sit for 5 min between each use I think you would b fine it is a great system the solution it comes with is not that great. Spend the money and get good solution we bout a gal on amazon for $100 and it is a big difference

I've run mine for over 2 hours but never until the battery ran out. I hope that helps.

I have run it for about 6 hrs before on a fully charged battery. Sometimes 7 depending on how often it is used. I keep a spare fully charged battery on hand just in case.
