    Why won't the blade on my Wen MM1214 Saw turn?

      Raymond KruegerJul 28, 2025
      If the blade on your Wen Saw won't turn, it could be due to excessive sawdust or chips between the blade and frame; clean this space with compressed air and ensure no chips are stuck. Another possibility is that the spindle lock is depressed; move the blade back and forth to unlock it. If the belt is broken, see page 18 to replace it.

      If your Wen Saw's cutting performance is ineffective, consider these potential causes and solutions: * **Dull blade:** Sharpen or replace the blade. * **Dirty blade:** Remove the blade and clean the surface and cutting edge with steel wool and turpentine. * **Insecure blade:** Ensure the blade flanges are flush against the blade and the arbor bolt is completely tightened. * **Incorrect blade:** Ensure the blade is compatible with the material type and thickness being cut. * **Blade mounted backwards:** Mount the blade in the correct orientation.

If the belt is worn, see page 18 to replace it.

    Why won't my Wen Saw motor start?
    • J
      Justin PatelNov 4, 2025
      There are several reasons why the motor on your Wen Saw might not start. It could be due to a damaged or improperly plugged-in power cord, in which case you should check the cord, extension cord, plug, and outlet, and discontinue use if any part is damaged. Other potential causes include insufficient power from the outlet (ensure it's functional and has the correct capacity), worn carbon brushes (inspect and replace as needed; replacement brushes can be ordered from wenproducts.com), the tool being forced to work too fast (avoid forcing the tool and ensure the workpiece is compatible with the blade), or an extension cord that's too long or thin (refer to page 8 for selecting the proper size). If none of these resolves the issue, it could be a defective power switch, motor, or another inter...
