    How to troubleshoot a Chicago Electric 62420 Saw that will not start?
    • T
      tonya22Aug 2, 2025
      If your Chicago Electric Saw won't start, there are several possible reasons: 1. **Cord not connected:** Ensure the cord is properly plugged in. 2. **No power at outlet:** Check the power at the outlet. If there's no power, turn off the tool and check the circuit breaker. If the breaker is tripped, verify the circuit's capacity and ensure no other loads are on the circuit. 3. **Tool’s thermal reset breaker tripped:** Turn off the saw and allow it to cool down. Then, press the reset button on the tool. 4. **Internal damage or wear:** If none of the above steps work, there may be internal damage or wear. In this case, have a qualified technician service the Chicago Electric Saw.

      Lauren BurkeAug 7, 2025
      If your Chicago Electric Saw is overheating, consider the following: 1. **Forcing the tool:** Allow the tool to work at its own pace. Avoid forcing it. 2. **Blade misalignment:** Check the blade and correct it to ensure proper alignment. 3. **Dull or damaged blade:** Keep the blades sharp and replace them when needed. 4. **Blocked motor housing vents:** Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and a NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator while blowing dust out of the motor using compressed air. 5. **Strained motor due to extension cord:** Eliminate the use of an extension cord. If one is necessary, use a cord with the correct diameter for its length and the load.
