What the product may be telling you
These are category-level diagnostic paths. Error-code numbers differ between brands, markets and revisions, so EgoFile shows a code only after it is confirmed in the exact official manual.
Tool does not start
Medium priorityWhat it means: The supply, battery, lock-off or electronic protection may be preventing operation.
Safe first check: Remove the accessory load, verify the power source and follow the documented reset.
Stop condition: Stop for damaged insulation, a swollen battery or repeated breaker trips.
Accessory stalls or binds
High priorityWhat it means: The accessory, feed rate, material or selected mode may be unsuitable.
Safe first check: Disconnect power, free the accessory and confirm its rating and installation.
Stop condition: Do not restart until the cause of binding and kickback has been removed.
Abnormal vibration or run-out
High priorityWhat it means: An accessory may be damaged, loose, unbalanced or incorrectly mounted.
Safe first check: Stop immediately and inspect the accessory, flange, chuck and guard.
Stop condition: Replace damaged parts; never test a cracked abrasive wheel.
Overload or overtemperature
Medium priorityWhat it means: Blocked cooling, excessive load or duty-cycle limits may have activated protection.
Safe first check: Switch off, clear external vents and let the tool cool naturally.
Stop condition: Request service for smoke, melting, smell or repeated shutdown.
