Mind does that tool you got to have the speed wide open to cut something I used mind to cut off a steel lock and it was on speed number 8

The only time it should cut off is if the battery is weak or if it is overheated while cutting/ as in long term cutting or grinding , then it just goes into a cool down mode which will take a little while. If the tool is fully charged and you are getting a cut off situation with just minimal cutting I would think something might be wrong then.

Wish I could help, but I too, purchased a blade that would not cut. Lucky for me, that I bought two of them, the other cut just fine. But the one that didn't work, it was like it didn't have an edge on it. Perhaps it didn't. I tried and tried to use it, then finally gave up and put the other blade in and it cut through with ease, like a knife cutting through soft butter. I suggest you return that blade for another.

Curious... Does it just flicker on/off randomly? I ask because mine started doing that very recently. I thought I had a short somewhere but disconnected the output wire, and you could still hear the thing clicking on/off constantly on its own. So disappointed and haven't had it all that long.

Its probably defective. You should talk to the producer of your knife about it

I had the same problem so I exchanged mine for a new one. The new one works fine. I believe the original one had a faulty thermal cutoff switch. Mine would run for a minute or two when I first started it and then cut off. 30 seconds later it would run again but only for a few seconds. I wondered if I was somehow stressing the machine to much, perhaps I was working it too hard. But I'm just re-tilling a garden so my soil is not hard. And the new one works great, though I'm using it exactly the same way. So if you have this problem, I suggest you exchange it for a new unit.

I used the tool yesterday on a ride and did not have any problems. Sounds as if something is bent or is there any dirt in the tool.

Mine goes all the way to 149 and cuts off...That's right where it is supposed to be.Sorry, no problems with mine.

...not sure if it is "normal", but the same thing happened to me. I just ignore it.....what other choice do you have? If you want the blade sharpened as far as the handle, there doesn't seem to be any other way. Holding the blade level as you draw it through the slot seemed to ameliorate that problem somewhat. I do like the product. I don't see any other way to get the blade sharpened as far as the handle.

I usually pinch the blade and pull. I find there to be just the right amount of resistance. If you are having a hard time, yours may be defective or bent at the joint, causing it to be tighter than it should be.

I had the same issue when I operated the saw with a short blade: the toll less mechanism blocked. I used WD40, jiggled the blade, and used pliers to push the lever of the tool less mechanism into the open position--then I was able to remove the blade. The tool less mechanism worked fine after that.

I would suggest replacing the complete tool. No, I don't think they are repaacable in part.

SAME PROBLEM HERE.. CONTACTED THE VENDOR WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REPONSE OR FOLLOWUP.. In my opinion it's a piece of crap.. I replaced it with Weller ML500MP Mini Butane Soldering Iron.. it works..

I have had the same issue and I think it has to do with the torque of the fastener you are trying to remove, you have to break that initial torque on certain fasteners, bolts, screws etc., and then it will be fine. It is an inconvenience but I still like using the tool and still happy with my purchase.

Sorry It is defective. It could short out. This problem occurs occasionally. Hope I helped

If going down a number doesn't work then maybe it is dull, and wasn't washer properly. I run a paper towel through mine (no water if possible cause that dulls blade) to clean blade. Mine cut easily the moment I got it, if yours didn't the fault is not yours, but whoever you purchased from.

Seems like something is wrong. Mine cuts like a hot knife through butter. I have not tried to cut anything larger than 9" or so, but it will go through a 6" branch in 5-10 seconds. I debranched and cut up a fallen 20' pine in about 10 minutes.

I would first check all of your consumables. It is a scratch start so no gap. If it won't arc it may be the unit. Not a big deal. I had that and returned it got a new one and have cut everything with great results.
