      If your Record Power Saw doesn't work, first check the cable for any breakage. Also, ensure that both doors are fully closed. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the switch may be defective, requiring repair by your local dealer.

    Why does my Record Power Saw blade not cut in a straight line?

      jennifer18Aug 12, 2025
      If your Record Power Saw blade isn't cutting straight, make sure you're using the fence. Avoid feeding the workpiece too quickly and ensure the blade isn't bending. Check if the blade teeth are dull or damaged and replace the blade if needed. Also, ensure that the blade guides are suitably adjusted.

    Why does my Record Power Saw blade not cut or cut very slowly?

      Jason JonesAug 26, 2025
      If the blade on your Record Power Saw is not cutting or cutting very slowly, it might be dull from cutting hard material or prolonged use. Replace the blade, using a 6 TPI blade for wood and soft materials, or a 14 TPI blade for harder materials. Also, ensure the blade is fitted correctly.

    What to do if the blade of my Record Power BS400 Premium doesn't move when the motor is running?

      John MooreSep 12, 2025
      If the blade on your Record Power Saw isn't moving while the motor is running, switch off the motor and check that the quick release lever or blade tension wheel is tightened. If the blade has come off one of the wheels, refit the blade, track, and tension it. Also, inspect the blade and the drive belt; replace them if either is broken.
