FM-14: The Saw Or Battery Overheats Or Heat Shutoff Repeats

The saw or pack gets abnormally hot, loses output, or stops during a supported cut.

• Vents are blocked by sawdust or the saw is covered
• Blade is dull or the feed load is excessive
• Battery is hot, cold, low, damaged, or unsuitable
• Cut depth, support, or material is overloading the saw
• Motor, bearing, controller, or battery fault

1. A light supported cut completes without abnormal heat or shutdown.

1. Release trigger, remove pack, and place both on a clear surface.
2. Let saw and pack cool naturally, then brush the vents and inspect for damage or odor.
3. - Fit sharp blade and good pack - correct depth and support - test lightly.
4. If abnormal heat or shutdown returns, stop use and seek qualified service.
