FM-04: Blade Speed Or Cutting Force Is Below Normal

The blade turns, but speed or cutting force is below normal in a correctly supported wood cut.

• Battery charge or output is too low for the load
• Blade is dull, dirty, damaged, or unsuitable
• Blade rotation, size, arbor, or speed rating is incorrect
• Cut depth is excessive or feed pressure is too high
• Motor, bearing, or electronic drive fault

1. A clean supported test cut proceeds smoothly at normal blade speed.

1. Release the trigger, remove the battery, and inspect the installed blade.
2. Fit a clean sharp blade of the correct size, arbor, rotation, tooth count, and speed rating.
3. Set depth so about one-half tooth projects below the work and support the material near the cut.
4. - Test with a charged known-good pack and steady feed - if output stays low, seek service.
