    Why does my Makita Chainsaw motor stop running quickly?

      Tiffany MontgomerySep 9, 2025
      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.

      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.

      If there's no oil on the chain of your Makita Chainsaw, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the oil tank is empty and fill it if needed. Second, the oil guide groove might be dirty, so clean the groove. Finally, there might be poor oil delivery; in this case, adjust the amount of oil delivery using the adjusting screw.
