    Why my Makita DUC355 does not start?

      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.

    Why is my Makita DUC355 main power lamp blinking?
    • S

      The main power lamp on your Makita chainsaw might be blinking because the switch trigger is being pulled when the tool is not ready. Ensure the main power switch is on and the chain brake is released before pulling the switch trigger.
