DEWALT fault - question

[Herst1953]

Hey everyone,

I have a DEWALT Flip Saw D27105. It has had an intermittent fault where it sometimes does not start when the "on" button (for the table saw) is pressed or the trigger for the chop saw is pulled. It has gradually got worse and now it does not start at all.

I have checked connections and the fuse, there are no brushes on the motor so I am stuck with a non-working saw. I was thinking it may be the capacitor in the button switch casing or the two capacitors alongside the motor (Inside the casing). Has anyone else had this problem?

The capacitors in these are generally there to prevent TV interference, and can be removed....the drill will still function.
With the start button held 'on', waggle the mains lead going into the machine.....quite often the copper conductors shear inside the insulation.
If no joy, check the wires for continuity anyway.
