Corded Multi Tool stops while in use

Troubleshooting: Multi-Tool Stops While in Use

1. Check the Power
   • If you are using an extension lead, check to see if it’s damaged.
   • Check the tool’s power lead for damage.
2. Avoid Overheating
   • Multi-tools can overheat after prolonged heavy use.
   • When this happens, the LED will flash and the motor will shut off automatically.
   • Allow the tool to cool down before continuing.
   • If overheating is frequent, use shorter intervals with breaks.
3. Running at Low Speed Continuously
   • Constant low-speed operation can cause overheating.
   • To cool the tool, run it at full speed without load for a short time.
4. Check Accessories
   • Ensure the correct accessory (blade, sanding pad, etc.) is fitted for the task.
   • Make sure it is properly attached and in good condition. Worn or damaged blades can cause binding or stalling.
5. Remove Obstructions
   • Check for material build-up or foreign objects that could cause the tool to bind or jam.
   • Clear any debris before restarting.
6. Avoid Binding When Cutting
   • Binding occurs when the blade gets pinched or stuck in the material.
   • To prevent this:
     • Do not twist or force the blade sideways during cutting.
     • Use steady, controlled movements and let the tool do the work.
     • For plunge cuts, start slowly and allow the blade to enter the material gradually.
     • If cutting thick or hard material, consider making relief cuts to reduce pressure on the blade.
7. Use the Right Speed Setting
   • Select an appropriate speed for the material.
   • High speeds on tough materials can cause the tool to stall.
8. Avoid Excessive Pressure
   • Pressing too hard can cause the tool to stop.
   • Let the oscillating motion do the work. Apply light, steady pressure.
