DeWalt — Battery Not Charging
When a DeWalt cordless drill battery won't charge, the most common causes are dirty contacts, a battery that's too hot or cold, or a battery that has entered sleep mode from sitting too long. Cleaning the contacts and doing a wake-up cycle fixes this about 70% of the time.

Milwaukee — Blade Won't Spin
When a Milwaukee circular saw blade won't spin, the most common causes are a locked blade guard, sawdust buildup in the motor, or worn carbon brushes. On cordless models, a drained battery or overheated motor will also prevent spinning. Most of these are quick fixes.
