blade control engaged but blade will quit turning
764372
I'm not 100% clear on what you are asking, but.....Let me clarify. Release safety, pull forward control/advance bar,blade turns, mower moves forward at your pace. Release control advance bar, blade stops, forward motion of mower stops, safety is re-engaged. I'm pretty sure this is the sequence... if yours doesn't do this.... Houston, we have a problem!

I have found that grass will get built up in the undercarriage and cause it to stop turning. The manual says to open the bagger chute with the lawn mower off and clear it out. You might have to actually turn the mower on the side, though. Other than that, I have no suggestions.

Does the blade turn at all? You said it "quit" turning, so I was wondering if it stops after it has turned somewhat. Are you absolutely sure the blade is installed correctly? Was the mower doing this when you first got it? I can assume from what you wrote that the motor is running all right and the sound doesn't change when the blade stops running? The blade will stop turning if you release the bar. That is the "blade override" feature kicking in. The motor will quieten considerably when that happens. Hope this and the suggestions by others will be a help to you!

Does the display show the razor is activated when this happens? If it does the motor is becoming jammed. Remove the cutter foil, and blade, and put a drop of oil on the piece that oscillates back and forth after cleaning it. It's probaly gummed up.

The only time that should happen is if you are pressing down on the knife. Just pull the knife through the slots with just the weight of the knife on the grinding wheels. Hope this helps you.

Well you have to go through some gyrations with the blade guard, but it will go back on. Please do not use a hammer :o)

I had to buy a new blade assembly (found on amazon, SPB-456-2B), something had burned/broke inside and it wouldn't spin anymore: it spun before and now that I put the new blade assembly in, it spins again.

I do not have this issue and my saw makes rock solid square cuts every time. Are you talking about side to side or up and down play? If neither I assume you are talking about out of round play. If it is out of round play, look at the two washers that sandwich the blade tight on the motor shaft. If each washers' thickness is not consistent that could cause blade travel to be out of round. The washers need to be replaced if they are not consistent. If it's up and down or side to side play most likely there is a bearing or bushing problem and would require repair work on the saw.

I take it when you say it moves you mean the self-propel feature works. That would mean your battery is OK and the connections there are good, so it must mean the connection from battery to blade isn't working. I'd check to make sure it isn't anything mechanical (something that isn't moving when you pull the blade control bar back or something like that) and if you can't find anything there you're probably going to find someone who can service it for you. Hope this helps.

Perhaps you bent the blades a little when taking them apart. (I did that once on one of my previous Panasonic trimmers.) If the shaft spins freely without binding up when you have it taken apart, you know it's the blades. If that's the case, I would try GENTLY squeezing them in just a little bit.

leaks are probably taken care of by the gaskets. liquids might get through the blade assembly, but if that were the case the blade probably wouldn't turn at all.

It is ment to ungam the cutter blades. There is a place in the center of the bottom to insert it. Turn the wrench ether way and it should start again.

All I can say is that the blades should move end to end not back and forth/side to side. I have not had this problem/issue so I cannot say for sure what to or not to do. Good luck.

I had the same problem with mine, its just a matter of breaking it in, when I depress the blade lock, (On the back of the knife) I had to relay make sure that it was fully depressed, to release the blade, i just kept working it until it became easier. Little WD40 helped as well. I Love my SOG, its my EDC. Good Luck

I have used it twice and had to adjust the blade because it clicks loudly when it is turned on. It still clicks on turn on but doesn't seem to get hot--

There is a button near the blade, inside the handle. Its the lock. Push it and you will be able to close the blade

Make sure the blade rotation start is off. Mower will not operate in reverse with blade rotating lever in on position.

I have used this saw a lot with no problems. When I first bought it the blades would fall out occasionally. Now, I firmly push the blade into the slot before closing the blade release lever - no problems. Also be sure you have the correct blade type for this saw. If you do both of those and the problem continues, call DeWalt or bring it to a local service center.
