Hello all.

 

I’ve got the above saw and it’s just started playing up. When I put the battery in the on off button lights up and it’ll work with the chainbrake off but when I put the chainbrake on the green light flashes. The on off button doesn’t turn off either. Any ideas what could be wrong?

 

Thank you

The blinking green light indicates the chainbrake is on. The meanings of 2 types of blinking warnings are in that book nobody reads called manual

Make sure you charge the battery before starting to play.

That's complicated. What happens if you put the battery in while the chain brake is on does it play a tune ? I like petrol ones, when the engine is quiet the saw is off.

Can’t understand the idea about “complicated” part.

Putting fuel in = putting battery in

Pulling starter = pushing ON 

Turning OFF = turning OFF

 

Only difference - battery saw blinks to indicate brake is engaged and also turns off soon if you leave in the middle of kindergarden or next to the clueless groundies

Hello again. With mine it’s flashing 4 times per second with the brake on and then it’s on all the time with the brake off. You can’t turn the saw on and off with the button which you could before?

If it happens with fully charged battery just get it to the dealer.

There is 5/2y warranty unit and non-turning off will definitely be covered

Normally the membrane button turns it off in any situation.
