Difficulty Level:
A Bit Difficult
Total Repair Time:
More than 2 hours
Tools:
Screw drivers, Wrench set
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 s train 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!!
