Is there a factory warranty? And does it cover blades loosening up?

There should be a year warranty on the saw. We've put ours through a lot of hard wear and tear including cutting down small mesquite trees. We've had absolutely zero problems with this tool so far. Try to keep the tool seated tightly against the workpiece you are cutting...it should cut down on a lot of vibration. That said, so far we've had no problem with the blades coming loose.

Makita offers a limited one year warranty from the date of original purchase. Any trouble, return the complete tool. It covers trouble caused by defective workmanship. There are other manufacturers that offer longer warranties. Milwaukee and Rigid come to mind. Regarding your second question, let me say that if you seat the blade properly and according to instructions, it cannot loosen up. Makita locks the blade in place.

Yes there's a warranty. Blades don't loosen up. Blades don't last that long anyway, depending on what you're sawing. I have a long branch trimming blade that has lasted very well, but if you're cutting out drywall/nails etc you'll find you need to change blades often.

Should have a one year warranty. Have had mine for a couple of years with no problems. It has worked great cutting branches in the yard, and the blade fits tightly when it's set into place...never wobbles.

I don't know if the product in question any warranty but as for the handle I have had problem with it being loose and I had to use a screw driver several time to tighten the handle...

I dont know anything about the warranty. You might want to ask Amazon customer service. I have done a lot of tree trimming with mine and they have held up great so far.

Bought mine several years ago, so not familiar with the extended warranty. I would never buy another that's for sure. like others have stated, this saw is a piece of junk. I work on it more than it runs. Spend a little more and buy a Steil.

OK. Heres the deal. I ordered my blade and it was perfect. Then I ordered a Gerber Auto. When I received it the tip was slightly ground incorrectly. I called the seller, and did some research. What I learned was that Gerber can be a little loose on their quality control. Out of every ten blades one will be off. Bottom line is that if your unhappy with what you paid for then I would either return it, or exchange it. Be very clear that the tip is slightly bent, and that you would like one that isn't. That way they won't send you another that is bent. If this is a private seller than he should know exactly what your talking about, even if he's playing a little dumb. Good Luck! OK. Heres the deal.

I bought this for my daughter, she has used them for a year at least I believe though she says she doesn't recall any paperwork about a warranty. She loves them and has had them sharpened at least twice since she has used them. She is a cosmetologist.

I bought this saw last July and we've used it a dozen times or so with no problems... Anyway, today it refused to relinquish the blade for a while. After rinsing the blade release area with hot water (we use it to cut frozen meats) it gave up the blade. We're thinking a bone fragment may have gotten lodged up in the release mechanism.

Good questions! I chose to NOT get the extended warrantee and to be honest I did not read the manufacture's warrentee. We have a tiny yard so it does not get much work. Sorry, guess I can't answer your questions. I love the mower and have had no trouble with it!

Yes, this mower comes with a warranty. I used the warranty once to have a broken pulley replaced. A long wait for service, but the repair was done satisfactory.

Yes I have had problems with the blade that it is cracked in spots but was told they do have it for $15.00 plus shipping hope this helps you out other then that its a great product

I can't remember what the factory warranty is. I still use it and have not had an issue. I've used it on and off for the better just short of 2 years. Solid construction and I love having the ability to sit on the edge with no issues. Solid enough for two adults.

There is a factory warranty, but not sure how extensive it is. In my experience, the battery died just after the warranty and could not be easily replaced - easier to just buy a new one which I didn't bother doing.

yes. the problem you are experiencing is what i experienced. the trouble shooting recommended getting new blade for the machine. I did that and that did not help at all. I think it is defected. I ended up throwing mine out because i was pass warranty and i could not deal with the loud noise and intense vibrations. If yours is still under warranty, then use it.

Jim,I don't know? On mine I have never had a problem. It came with 4 of 5 different blades and they all slide right in. Let me know what specifically you are having trouble with and I will check it out.Mark

Patricia, I had an issue with the cover with the blades and called the company. They would have sold the part separately, but there was not much difference in the cost of the replacement part and a whole new set so I bought a new set since the company is based in Canada. Here is the customer service number: 1-866-832-4843.
