  If your Makita Chainsaw doesn't start, there could be several reasons. First, ensure a charged battery cartridge is correctly installed. If the battery is low, recharge it or replace it if recharging doesn't help. Also, check that the main power switch is turned on, as the chainsaw automatically turns off after a period of inactivity.

  If your Makita Chainsaw does not start, a possible cause is that the battery cartridge is not installed. To fix this, install a charged battery cartridge. Another reason could be a battery problem such as low voltage. In this case, try recharging the battery cartridges; if that doesn't work, replace the battery cartridge. Also, the main power switch might be off. If so, turn the main power switch on again, as the chainsaw automatically turns off if left unused for a while.

  If your Makita Cordless Saw isn't reaching maximum RPM, it could be due to a few reasons: the battery cartridge might be installed improperly (install the battery cartridges correctly), or the battery power may be dropping (recharge or replace the battery cartridge). If these steps don't resolve the issue, ask the authorized service center in your region for repair.
