Power cord was frayed and needed replacement
Fred - August 10, 2017

Tool Type
Miter Saw
Difficulty
Medium
Time
More than 2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Wrench Set, wire stripper and cutter
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!!

Died suddenly. Figured it was something with the switch.

Screwdriver
Replaced the cord (very worn and cracked) and replaced the switch inside. It was the switch (Switch SP115F-1 (651895-0) = $15.28) that was bad. Took the motor off then the handle/button cover, cut the new cord wires to length, attached, then put in the switch (you'll need to buy the electrical flat slide female connection for the wire that goes to the switch, the other wire is a screw down attachment. - I have that stuff on hand - very cheap from any hardware store), you'll see it when you take off the cover. The biggest problem was getting the spring to stay in place that holds the switch handle out. A small flat-head screwdriver did the trick.

Very old but fully serviceable saw. Hate to replace it!

Difficulty

Time
30-60 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, Socket set
1. Removed the handle / motor housing and installed a new power cord, both longer and larger gauge wire, including a ground wire, using the new cord guard. The original cord did not have a ground wire, now this is installed and tied to the cast metal part of the outer motor housing.
2. Disassembled the miter box and installed a new chip guard (these tend to break so I bought 2).
3. Installed new brushes and saved the old ones, as a backup set.
Everything works great. Took maybe 30 minutes.

You will have to take the saw mostly apart for this repair, but parts cost a lot less than a new saw if you don't mind the repair work. Start by removing the blade, washers, and bolt. Remove the foot from the saw by removing the pivot screw/nut at the front and the adjustment bolt from the rear (remove the set screw on the lever, then the lever, then the nut and bolt. Remove the blade guard by removing the snap ring, stop button, and return spring. Remove the drive pud (what the blade bolts to) by removing the four retaining screws. Remove the blade housing by removing the screws from the backside. Remove the handle cover. Remove the white plastic cover behind the blade housing. Pull the armature out of the field coil (might have to tap on the back of the motor housing to get the bearing out of the bore, otherwise it's held in with magnetic force). Carefully remove the wiring from the handle for the cord, trigger, and light. Remove the field coil screws and the coil (turning the housing over and thumping it against a wood block with release it; it's pressure fit). Reinstall the field coil into the new motor housing (line up the screw holes and tap it in with a drift ot screwdriver until it seats). Reinstall the field coil screws. Carefully route the wiring through the guides in the housing. If the cord needs replacement now's a good time. The rest of reassembly is just the reverse of disassembly. Be sure to test the saw when done. These are relatively simple tools to repair, just take your time and snap some pictures if you need to.
