Rotozip blade keeps stalling

by stalling do you mean that the blade stops spinning or the motor stops turning
if the blade stops spinning then the mounting bolt for the blade is not tight enough
if the motor stops spinning , junk it and get a new unit

'Sprag' the blade to stop it from rotating. Apply some WD40 or kerosene around the area and use an impact gun or impact driver to crack the nut. Check the thread and make sure you are actually turning the right way to loosen the nut. Some are a left hand thread! Cheers Bob

Hi Rita,looked very hard and found this site,here's the main site too. http://www.rotozip.com/en-us/support/Documents/2610008432%2008-10%20RFS1000.pdf If this isn't your saw,try this link. http://www.rotozip.com/en-us/support/Pages/Manuals.aspx

Did you ever solve this problem? Mine just did the same thing right after I put a new blade on for the first time I ever used it

Try a little PB blaster penetrating oil and a little more muscle not to much!! Nut might be a tad bit rusted in place. Good Luck....

same happened with me, only used 5/6 times

There's a small hole in the blade. Insert a nail or screwdriver through the hole and tutn blade until it stops. Ypu can also use a piece of wood place in one the blade teeth and turned until it stops at the show plate.

I used my Rotozip once, off and on for about one hour total time. I put it away, very glad that I had bought it. It did a great job by the way. I did not need it again for another year and a half. Recently, I had another "honey do" project to take care of, so when I took it out of it's tool bag, I was certain it would take care of my project in no time. I plugged it in, hit the switch and nothing. So, I plugged it in another outlet... nothing. Shook all the cords to check for a broken wire... nothing. No power... nothing. Talk to me, is there a circuit breaker in there somewhere or do I have to send it back to Rotozip?

The only tile that they are any decent at cutting would be ceramic, slate, or terracotta. Anything else is way too hard and even cutting the listed tile it's no joy to do. I would suggest using a 4 or 4 1/2" grinder with a diamond blade coupled with a wetsaw. hope this helps and good luck.

Disconnect the electric from the saw. Remove the throat blade cover. Bring the blade all the way up. Look for wood  caught between the blade and anything else. Finding none,remove blade. Try motor w/o blade. If it runs now,w/o the blade then the motor is likely ok . Reinstall blade. Now if it stil stalls, Replace motor.
