  If your Cutech Power Tool motor isn't starting, the issue could stem from several causes. First, ensure the power tool is properly plugged into a functioning power source. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers, and replace them or reset the breaker. If the voltage is improper, make sure that the power tool is connected to the correct voltage supply. Finally, verify that the lockout key is properly inserted.

  If your Cutech Power Tool motor stalls or shuts off while cutting, consider these potential causes: * The motor may be overloaded. Try reducing the load and taking lighter cuts. * There might be a short circuit in the motor or loose connections. In this case, it's best to call an electrician to inspect and repair or replace any faulty connections or worn insulation. * The circuit breaker may have tripped, indicating a circuit overload. Install the correct circuit breaker and reduce the number of machines running on that circuit.

What to do if my Cutech 40180H-CT Power Tool keeps blowing fuses or tripping the circuit breaker?

  Michael AllenAug 12, 2025
  If your Cutech Power Tool is causing fuses to blow or the circuit breaker to trip, it could be due to a short circuit in the line cord or plug. It is recommended to call an electrician to repair or replace the cord or plug, checking for damaged insulation and shorted wires. Another possibility is that the unit is overloaded. Try reducing the load. Also, try operating the power tool on a circuit separate from other appliances or motors, or connect it to a circuit with an adequate amp rating.

  If your Cutech Power Tool motor is overheating, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, the motor might be overloaded during operation, so try reducing the load by taking lighter cuts. Second, air circulation through the motor might be restricted. Clean out the motor to ensure normal air circulation.
