Power Tool Repair, News From Our Shop

Each day our shop repairs a variety of power tools. Some of the power tools we see have maintenance needs, such as replacing a damaged cord, cleaning out debris, lubricating moving parts, or replacing brushes. Other power tools have more complex problems including bad armatures, missing gears, broken safety mechanisms, and just about anything else you may imagine.

 

 

 

 

 

Bosh Laser Tracking Dual-Bevel Slide Miter Saw

Model: 5412-L

Today in our repair shop we had the opportunity to perform some simple maintenance issues on a Bosch miter saw. This power tool also arrived with some broken safety parts that required immediate replacement.

This power tool arrived with the following issues:

 

• Broken Linkage
• Broken Lower Handle
• Broken Upper Handle
• Cracked Wheel Guard
• Missing Rubber Rollers (2 were needed for this repair)

Replacement Part Links:

• Linkage: 2610915720
• Lower Handle: 2610915737
• Upper Handle: 2610915738
• Wheel Guard: 2610927694
• Rubber Rollers (2) : 2610915724

Repair Procedure:

1. Remove the broken Linkage
2. Remove the Lower and Upper Handles by removing the screws and the Mounting Hub (the mounting hub is a 2 part metal piece)
   
3. Remove the broken Wheel Guard
4. Attach the new Linkage
5. The Lower and Upper Handles attach together with screws
6. Make sure the wiring for the handle switch fits snug, without kinks
7. Tighten the screws
   
8. Attach the Wheel Guard using the lock nut, if it is too loose, it will rattle. If it is too tight, the Wheel Guard will not slide smoothly
9. Attach one Rubber Roller on each side of the Wheel Guard

When this work is complete, check your angles and make sure your blade lines up square.
