I watched several your YouTube video and thought this was a repair I could do myself and it was fairly easy. Actually easier than I expected since the armature had both bearings already on it. The armature was easy to remove, did not require a mallet to break it loose

I removed the motor housing cover by loosening 2 screws. I unplugged the existing brushes and put in the new ones. Screwed the cover back on and the saw ran perfectly. I first googled the problem on Youtube and that is how if found out about replacement parts. I now repair all my own tools using their parts.

Replaced the switch first as my ohm meter indicated it was no good. The saw then arced and ran intermittently. Checked the brushes and found them all but gone. Should have checked them at the same time as the switch. Ordered the brushes and as soon as they arrived it was a matter of minutes until I was up and running again. A simple repai r for just about anyone.
