Symptoms

The motor can be heard running, but the blade remains still, starts late, or slips instead of tracking the motor.
Motor runs but blade stays still
Blade wobbles or grinds
The blade turns, but the saw feeds poorly, stalls in the kerf, burns the wood, splinters excessively, or overloads during an ordinary cut.
The saw starts normally but stops, pulses, or loses power during a cut, especially when pushed or when the battery is moved.
The saw suddenly lifts, jumps toward the operator, climbs out of the kerf, or walks backward as the blade pinches or twists.
The shoe will not pivot or slide, the depth lever or bevel knob cannot lock, or the setting shifts during handling or cutting.
The spindle lock will not engage, the supplied wrench will not turn the bolt, or the blade bolt is seized, stripped, or cross-threaded.
The saw completes the cut, but a 0-degree cut is not square, the bevel does not match the scale, or the kerf wanders from the intended angle.
The blade runs off-center, touches the guard or shoe, produces unusual vibration, or makes a grinding sound.
Saw cuts out under load
The blade starts during battery insertion, the trigger remains stuck, or releasing the trigger does not de-energize the saw.
The motor can be heard, but the front output remains still in both directions with the bit removed.
WORKLIGHT COMES ON, BUT THE MOTOR WILL NOT START
The trigger returns normally and power drops, but the anvil repeatedly coasts instead of stopping promptly.
A straight bit traces a visible circle at no load instead of rotating on a stable centerline.
A secure straight bit and clear work do not eliminate harsh no-load sound or vibration.
A straight bit stays clamped but rotates off-center, or the chuck body has visible play.
BATTERY WILL NOT CHARGE
Chuck clicks while tightening
