  If the Wen Saw motor doesn't start, first, ensure the plunge button is fully pressed before starting. Then, check the power cord, extension cord, power plug, and the outlet for any damage or improper connection. If any cord is damaged, discontinue use. Also, ensure the outlet is functional and has the correct capacity for the tool. Finally, inspect and replace the carbon brushes if needed; replacement brushes (part no. CT1274-023) can be ordered from wenproducts.com.

  If your Wen Saw is overheating, avoid forcing the tool and ensure the blade is appropriate for the cut type and workpiece. Also, make sure you are using the correct extension cord gauge. Finally, wear safety glasses and a dust mask, and blow any dust out of the motor housing vents.

  If you're experiencing excessive noise or vibration with your Wen Saw, first ensure the blade is installed in the correct orientation and is not damaged; replace it if necessary. Also, make sure the blade flanges are flush against the blade, and the arbor bolt is tightened completely. Avoid forcing the tool; let it work at its own pace, and ensure the blade selection is appropriate for the cut type and workpiece.

  If you are experiencing ineffective cutting performance with your Wen Saw, ensure the blade is sharp, or replace it if it's dull. Remove the blade and clean the surface and cutting edge with steel wool and turpentine. Make sure the blade flanges are flush against the blade, and the arbor bolt is tightened completely. Ensure the blade is installed in the correct orientation and is compatible with the material type and thickness being cut. Finally, inspect and replace the carbon brushes as needed; replacement carbon brushes (part no. CT1274-023) can be ordered from wenproducts.com.
