1. Removed 4 phillips head screws to remove handle assembly from saw.
2. Removed 5 phillips head screws to open handle assembly and provide access to wiring
3. Removed power cord and its connection to a connector component and the switch.
4. Cut new wires as needed to make connections
5. Noted that the new strain relief was not the correct size. Discovered that this was due to the labeling on the miter saw which indicated that it was a model LS 1030 when it was actually a model LS 1030N. Was able to determine this from drawings which were accurate.
6. Used old strain reliever which was in good condition
7. Then disaster: One of the handle assembly screws fell into the armature casing. The armature unit could not be removed as it appeared to be stuck in the casing. This condition has been reported by others. After a couple of days trying magnets, shaking the casing, using wires, etc. I finally was able to see where the screw was stuck with a flashlight shining on the casing air vents. Once seeing the screw I was then able to remove it.
8. Then took a little time to discover how a retention spring functioned together with the safety release button on the unit.
9. Voila! Repair complete and the saw started and has been resurrected from the dead!!

7. Actually, I had to do two saws - one circular and one reciprocating, so I repeated this process. Despite them both being Makita, the routing and attachment process was different. A very pleasant couple of hours one evening.

Separated handle and trigger section. This required removal of 5 screws. This exposed the wire connections. Removed old wire. It had a wire connector, sleeve type from a previous repair. This had to be reconnected. Threaded the wire thru the rubber wire protector. Made all connections, reassembled and tested. I put this off for ages. I had tried to fix it with electrical tape. Doing it right is always best!

I already had removed my old parts while waiting for my new parts to arrive. There are 2 screws on the switch and 2 for the cord. Both parts were installed within 15 minutes. My favorite saw is new again.
