Does the blade stop as soon as you begin your cut or after you get into the cut? If it is after you get into the cut, the blade is probably getting pinched or in a bind. Be sure to support both sides of the material you are cutting. If it is stopping as soon as it makes contact with what you are cutting, there is probably a problem with the saw.

I have the same model and have NEVER had that issue, even in thicker wood. Your battery may be going bad. Have it tested at a repair shop our try another battery. Make sure the contacts where the battery connects to the tool are okay and connecting right.

Only thing I can think of is the Safety/Run button isn't depressed. Can you try the battery on another tool to make sure it's good or really fully charged ?? Those are the only two things other than a mechanical (internal) problem that would cause that I can think of. Suggest you contact the company.

Attach it to the charger to the battery. Plug in the charger into an outlet. The battery can be found on the bottom of the saw, just under the handle.

The saw has a drive belt and I bet yours is a bit stretched. Easy to replace. Check your owners manual for belt replacement - might be on page 37. That should do the trick for you.

I am assuming the engine starts and is running and the blades stopped moving. Check to see if any twigs, sticks, cllippings, branches etc. are jammed in the blades. Check to see if the nuts that keep the blades bolted together are too tight. Is the trimmer brand new or used?

I do not have this issue and my saw makes rock solid square cuts every time. Are you talking about side to side or up and down play? If neither I assume you are talking about out of round play. If it is out of round play, look at the two washers that sandwich the blade tight on the motor shaft. If each washers' thickness is not consistent that could cause blade travel to be out of round. The washers need to be replaced if they are not consistent. If it's up and down or side to side play most likely there is a bearing or bushing problem and would require repair work on the saw.

You might check your ignition coil, make sure that you have no exposed wires. When you do that follow the wire from your kill switch back to the ignition coil. The ignition coil is what the spark plug is hooked up to. Check your air filter also.Make sure it is clean.TRY TO START AND USE YOUR SAW WITHOUT AIR FILTER. If it dies without your air filter then that is not your problem. IF it runs without air filter then reinstall air filter, if it dies air filter is your problem.

Unknown, I sent mine back because the standard Makita 18vdc batteries I have would not fit on the saw.

I have no idea. My saw operates i electricity,thru house current. I do love the saw,

I dont have the package anymore, but I suspect your exceeding the amperage. Circular saw pull a lot of current. Try it just plugged into another outlet not run thru this switch, if the breaker trips, bad saw. Or your breaker is tired, old and needs replacing just strong enough for lower amperage items. Hope this helps.

I am no expert but it sounds like low battery power. I found one of my batteries no longer holds a charge even though the charger indicates it is charged. Otherwise check to see if the shaft is not fouled with dust or hair etc. Could be that also. Sorry, best I can do.

I had a similar problem on my Bosch which resulted in me removing the laser from my saw and going back to the stock washer and bolt. Sorry I don't have a better answer; I was not happy with the blade stalling in the middle of cuts and didn't take time to chase the issue.

Depends on what kind of material you're working with. I was using this saw with wood and the battery worked for a good half hour or so. Excellent tool.

This sort of happened to me. I ran the blower to discharge the battery more and it charged okay.

Two batteries are included that power both the drill and saw. However, the saw goes through a battery charge much more quickly than the drill.

Hi. The previous responses about the blade lock and/or seating the blade may be the problem. Another thought was that the blades are not the "t" type blades required for the saw. I have had no problems with my saw and really like it.

I have not installed the switch yet but I can guess what the problem may be. I understand that the circuit breaker for the switch is rated for 16 amps. Circular saws draw a lot of current. It could be that your saw is rated near or over 16 amps. Also, some saws will exceed their stated rating when starting. Does the breaker trip when starting or when it is experiencing a heavy load? If so, you may need a switch with a higher rating.

I had issues with my battery because I kept it charged when not in use. I found out you should NOT keep it charged; rather keep it in the vac until it dies and then recharge, this will extend the life of the battery. I bought a new battery and that solved my problem. Good luck.
