    Why is my Chicago Electric Saw running hot and not cutting clean?
    • W
      William FrankAug 1, 2025
      If your Chicago Electric Saw is running hot, producing excessive dust or chips, or not cutting cleanly, there are a few potential causes. First, check the water level and ensure it's filled to the proper level. Also, avoid using hot or warm water; always use cold water. If the saw isn't cutting tile cleanly, turn it off, allow it to cool down, and then turn it back on, reducing the feed rate.

      If the blade on your Chicago Electric Saw spins slowly, it could be due to a binding arbor shaft. Check the shaft to ensure it spins freely. Alternatively, the motor brushes may be worn and need replacement.

      Excessive vibration in your Chicago Electric Saw may be due to a bent or off-balance blade. Try replacing the blade with a new one. Another possibility is a bent arbor shaft, which should be checked for run-out.
