my saw just stopped working dead even with a fully charged battery??

If the safety handle gets hit and pushed forward (say, from a branch getting in the way), then the saw will stop working. Also, if the chain isn't on tight enough, it will stop working. I find that I have to tighten my chain almost every time I use the saw. Good luck.

Never had this problem. I'd check to make sure blade is engaged and take battery out & put it back in. May have just jiggled loose.

Both posts are excellent and other one is dirt/grease on the battery and saw contacts

It depends on the battery and blade on the saw you're using. With only two XC batteries I have worked a full day framing and sheathing a new house. I haven't run a "wear it out with one cut until it's dead test"... But if that is your need get a worm drive saw and an extension cord.

Not sure but sounds like you have a shorted switch, I would email Streemlight and get it sent off for testing and repair, constant full discharge might ruin new battery.

I had problems starting mine as well. However, after reading the instructions more closely I realized I was not following the directions correctly. Make sure that you follow the starting directions exactly. Since then I have used my saw numerous times and it starts every time.

When fully charged it just like a electric saw, if half charged it will cut but must cut slowly. I think it is a great saw, the 20 volt is very powerful.

Hi. I have had good luck with mine. I use it just like I would use my 71/4 inch saw. I see no reason why it would not work as long as battery is fully charged. Its come in handy to me more than just once. Nice little saw. Hope this helps.

Not good, not being charged for a year and used most likely really killed the battery. Look B&D; up on google to look if you can replace rechargable battery.People who lose batteries for tools run into the same problem, no use - no charge - die.

Gosh Barbara, I must admit, I have no idea. Your best bet is to email the company, they're fairly good about answering or you could call your local lawnmower repair person. They may even be able to recharge your current battery.

The pole saw that I purchased came with a 20 volt battery. I later purchased a 40 volt battery to use as a spare, and it works just fine with my saw.

It is possible with the correct blade (and it will cut pretty well) BUT you won't get much cut before the battery is flat. Further, this saw has a big defect that if overloaded it can kill batteries and leave them unchargeable. You don't have to kill many batteries before you've covered the cost of getting a beefier tool that will do the job.

Depends on what kind of material you're working with. I was using this saw with wood and the battery worked for a good half hour or so. Excellent tool.

If it is fully charged as you said check through the different channels it has on the controller (use new AA bat of course) .if this does not improve your dilemma ,than I'm afraid the battery Is not good I would request it from the supplier if still under warranty.. I hope I helped you ought

There should be a wrench that came with it, usually slide into the back of the saw, there is a holder for it there, make sure the saw is unplugged and unscrew the bolt in the center, using something like a piece of wood to keep the blade from rotating while unscrewing the bolt

I am not sure, depending on when you bought it the saw might still be under warranty so check that and see. in terms of getting a new motor if you can get it of I'm sure that it has a model number on it that you can search for and get a new motor. i have now used my saw for 2 years, this year we used to to cut 17 sheep, this does not include all of the deer we harvested and i have not had any issues, i suggest you look into why your motor burned out, it is possible that you had the blade too tight or when you washed your saw down the motor got some rust and you didnt break the rust off and kept the motor running or it might just be a defective motor something you should look into.

The one I got just plugs into a standard outlet. Hope that answers your question. As per my review, I do not recommend this as a starter saw. very dangerous to use.
