Happy Repeat Customer
Finding the correct part was very easy. The part was delivered quicker than advertised, was in great shape and easy to install. Taking photos of the old, damaged part while removing it was helpful in installing the new part and assuring the wires were placed in the optimal locations.

The aluminum base broke causing the saw to separate from the collapsible stand it was mounted to. This allowed the clamshell switch handle to be broken making the chop saw unusable.

I removed all screws holding the chop saw to the aluminum base, and replaced the broken base with the new base purchased from your warehouse. I then removed all screws holding the clamshell handle and switch on the saw, and then in reverse order recounted the handle and switch. I then tested the saw with repairs complete and the saw worked like new.
