Why is my Arbortech AS175 Saw motor overheating?
- K
  Kara MahoneyAug 18, 2025
  Several factors can cause the Arbortech Saw motor to overheat. Make sure that the cooling vents are not blocked by debris or your hand. Also, ensure the blades aren't rubbing against each other too hard, either at the cutting edge or near the blade mounts. Worn blades or excessive belt tension can also lead to overheating, so replace worn blades and check the belt tension. Check the bearings for failure by removing the plastic side cover and belt, then rotate both pulleys independently to check for roughness. The power pulley should rotate easily and smoothly, while the driven pulley should rotate smoothly but have a 'springy' feel. Finally, verify that the motor housing is secure; if it's loose, seek help from an authorized service center.

  Noisy operation or unusual vibration in your Arbortech Saw can be caused by several issues. Start by tightening any loose blade mount bolts. If that doesn't solve the problem, the blade set may need replacement due to blade failure. Other potential causes include leaf spring failure, bearing failure, or gearbox failure, all of which require contacting an authorized service center. Lastly, check if the handle rubber mounts are damaged or worn, and replace them if needed.

  If your Arbortech Saw is running, but the blades aren't moving, the belt is likely the issue. Check if the belt is loose or broken and re-tension or replace it as necessary. A worn belt can also cause this problem, so consider replacing the belt.

Why are my Arbortech AS175 blades “blueing”?
- K
  kwongAug 26, 2025
  Blades turning blue on your Arbortech Saw can happen for a few reasons: worn teeth, using too much force, not using enough of a sawing motion, working with material that is too hard, or the blades rubbing together too forcefully. Replace worn blades, reduce the amount of force applied, increase the sawing motion, use appropriate materials, and ensure proper blade spacing.

  To prevent Arbortech Saw blades from rubbing together with excessive force, first ensure the blades have the correct spacing. If they don't, remove the blades and follow the blade gap setup procedure. Also, make sure the material you're cutting isn't too hard.

Why are the teeth on my Arbortech AS175 Saw blade chipped or lost?
- H
  heathergarciaSep 4, 2025
  Chipping or loss of teeth on your Arbortech Saw blade can occur if you encounter hard material or impact the back side of the teeth. It can also happen if you're not careful when setting the tool down on hard surfaces or if it's loose in a toolbox. Worn blades may also overheat, causing teeth to de-bond, or the material may be too hard. In these cases, replace the blades.
