    There are several potential reasons why your Chicago Electric Saw won't start: 1. **Cord not connected:** Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into an outlet. 2. **No power at outlet:** Verify that the outlet has power. If it doesn't, turn off the tool and check the circuit breaker. If the breaker is tripped, ensure the circuit is appropriately sized for the tool and isn't overloaded with other devices. 3. **Tool’s circuit breaker tripped:** Turn the tool off, wait about 5 minutes, and then press the circuit breaker button on the tool. 4. **Internal damage or wear:** There may be internal damage or wear to components like carbon brushes or the switch. If this is the case, have a qualified technician service the tool.

    Your Chicago Electric Saw may be overheating due to several reasons: 1. **Forcing machine to work too fast:** Allow the saw to work at its own pace without applying excessive force. 2. **Blade misaligned:** Check the alignment of the blade relative to the fence and table, and correct any misalignment. 3. **Blade dull or damaged:** Ensure that the cutting blades are sharp. Replace them if necessary. 4. **Motor being strained by long or small diameter extension cord:** Avoid using an extension cord. If one is necessary, use a shorter, heavier gauge cord.

    If your Chicago Electric Saw is operating slowly, it might be because the extension cord is too long or the wire size is too small. Try eliminating the extension cord. If you need an extension cord, use a shorter or heavier gauge cord.

    Excessive noise or rattling in your Chicago Electric Saw is typically due to internal damage or wear, such as to the carbon brushes or bearings. In this case, have a technician service the tool.
