Why won't my Skilsaw Saw motor start?
There are several reasons why the motor might not start: * The tool might not be plugged in. Ensure the tool is plugged into a working power outlet. * A fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the breaker. * The brushes may be worn. In this case, contact a SKILSAW Authorized Service to have them replaced. * The cord could be damaged. Have it replaced by a SKILSAW Authorized Service.
