Discussion for the Skil 9200 (F012920000) Reciprocating Saw
I have a Skil Reciprocating saw model 9200 and although I tighten the blade as much as possible it still moves up and down about an inch. I only have one screw to tighten so is there another screw that is missing? I have not used in so long I cant remember.
I have a Skil Reciprocating saw model 9200, I have to click the switch several times to get it to run and then it cuts out, sometimes starts back up?? the brushes seem to be fine they are about 1 1/4 inches long and nice smooth wear, no chips or cracks, this saw also has a variable speed governor dial type wheel. My guess is the switch is bad but want to make sure before I order repair parts. Thanks Ken
Mine had the same problem. When I tore it down, there was a loose connection to one side of the coil. I crimped on a new connector and everything was fine.
Great saw! All purpose usage (any type...steel, wood, tree roots, branches, etc.)...Have had for yrs. & still works fine. Trying to replace reciprocating "rod" (blade holder), part # needed.
