Why does my Holzstar Saw vibrate and the saw blade hammers?
If your Holzstar Saw vibrates or the saw blade hammers, first, ensure the saw blade conforms to the specifications. Second, tighten the fixing screw to properly fasten the saw blade. Finally, inspect the saw blade for any mechanical damage and replace it if necessary.
What to do if the motor of my Holzstar KGZ210 E becomes too hot?
If the motor of your Holzstar Saw is overheating, it may be due to an engine short circuit or engine overload. If it is a short circuit, disconnect the power plug and have the saw repaired by qualified personnel. If it is an overload, check if the saw blade is suitable for the material you are cutting and whether the saw blade is still sufficiently sharp. It is also recommended to take a work break and let the engine cool down.
Why is the saw blade speed too low on my Holzstar KGZ210 E Saw?
If the saw blade speed of your Holzstar Saw is too low, have the motor and mains voltage checked by qualified personnel.
What causes a Holzstar KGZ210 E turntable to be difficult to move?
If the turntable of your Holzstar Saw is difficult to move, remove any wood chips from the turning area.
What to do if my Holzstar Saw engine does not run consistently?
If the engine of your Holzstar Saw does not run consistently, have the carbon brushes checked by qualified personnel and replaced if necessary.
How to troubleshoot if my Holzstar Saw engine does not start up?
Have the mains power /connection cable of your Holzstar Saw checked by qualified personnel.
