Symptoms

The blade turns, but the saw feeds poorly, stalls in the kerf, burns the wood, splinters excessively, or overloads during an ordinary cut.
Blade wobbles or grinds
The shoe will not pivot or slide, the depth lever or bevel knob cannot lock, or the setting shifts during handling or cutting.
Motor runs but blade stays still
The spindle lock will not engage, the supplied wrench will not turn the bolt, or the blade bolt is seized, stripped, or cross-threaded.
Saw cuts out under load
The blade turns steadily, but wood cuts slowly, burns, or needs heavy feed pressure.
The blade pinches or stalls in the kerf, or the saw reacts backward during a cut.
The saw or pack smokes, leaks, sparks, melts, smells burned, swells, vents, or hisses.
The Installed Blade Is Loose, Wobbles, Slips, Or Runs Off Center
The external structure is visibly cracked, loose, crushed, melted, or missing material even if the saw still runs.
No-load operation is smooth, but the saw bounces, chatters, or vibrates as soon as cutting begins.
The 360-degree dust port is jammed or loose, or a compatible hose/coupler will not stay attached.
With a secure known-good blade clear of the work, the saw has harsh sound, bind, or vibration.
The Saw Grinds, Knocks, Rattles, Or Vibrates Abnormally
A secure straight bit and clear work do not eliminate harsh no-load sound or vibration.
With no fastener load, the bare or correctly fitted output sounds harsh, binds, knocks, or shakes abnormally.
The foot can be set to an angle, but moves after the bevel lever is locked or drifts during cutting.
DRILL HAS NO MOTOR OR CHUCK RESPONSE
With no accessory load, the front drive makes abnormal metallic noise or feels rough.
