If your Makita Chainsaw doesn't start, it might be due to several reasons. First, ensure a charged battery cartridge is correctly installed. If the battery is low, recharge it or replace it if necessary. Also, check if the main power switch is turned off, as the chainsaw automatically shuts down after inactivity. Turn the main power switch on again to resolve this.
What to do if there is no oil on the chain of my Makita DUC254Z?
If you notice no oil on the chain of your Makita Chainsaw, the oil tank might be empty, so refill it. Another possible reason is a dirty oil guide groove, which requires cleaning. You may also need to adjust the amount of oil delivery with the adjusting screw if the oil delivery is poor.
What to do if the saw chain does not run on my Makita DUC254Z Chainsaw?
If the saw chain of your Makita Chainsaw does not run, it is likely because the chain brake is activated. Release the chain brake to allow the chain to run.
Why does the motor of my Makita DUC254Z Chainsaw stop after a little use?
If your Makita Chainsaw motor stops running after a short period, the battery charge level is likely low. Recharge the battery cartridges, and if recharging doesn't help, consider replacing the battery cartridge.
Why my Makita Chainsaw does not reach maximum RPM?
If your Makita Chainsaw does not reach maximum RPM, the battery cartridge may be improperly installed; ensure it is correctly installed as described in the manual. Another cause could be dropping battery power, requiring you to recharge or replace the battery cartridge. If these steps do not solve the issue, the drive system may not be working correctly, and you should seek repair from an authorized service center.
What does it mean when the main power lamp is blinking green on my Makita Chainsaw?
If your Makita Chainsaw's main power lamp is blinking green, it means the switch trigger is being pulled under an inoperable condition. Ensure the main power switch is turned on and the chain brake is released before pulling the switch trigger.
Why is Torque Boost mode not available on my Makita DUC254Z after replacing the battery?
If your Makita Chainsaw's Torque Boost mode is unavailable after replacing the battery cartridge, it may be due to usage conditions. Try using the tool in normal mode until the installed battery cartridge is empty, then replace it with a fully charged one, or simply recharge the current battery cartridge.
Why is there abnormal vibration in my Makita DUC254Z Chainsaw?
