    Why does my Makita Chainsaw motor stop running quickly?
    • A

      If the motor of your Makita Chainsaw stops running after only a short period of use, the battery's charge level is likely low. Recharge the battery cartridges, and if recharging isn't effective, consider replacing the battery cartridge.

    Why my Makita DUC353 Chainsaw does not start?
    • B
      Brendan RodriguezAug 22, 2025
      Your Makita Chainsaw might not start because two battery cartridges are not installed. Make sure to install two charged battery cartridges. Another reason could be a battery problem, such as low voltage. In this case, recharge the battery cartridges, and if that doesn't work, replace them. Also, the main power switch may be off. If the chainsaw is left un-operated for a while, it automatically turns off, so turn the main power switch on again.
