Skil HD77

[Sammy]

I have a Skil HD77 circular worm drive. In using the saw I was cutting a redwood
4x4 with a new blade the saw just stopped running. I have done all the simple checks
power cord,oil level,ect no burnt wires or smell. Anyone have ideas what too look for before I tear it apart?
Thanks,
Sammy

Hi Sammy,

With the saw suddenly dieing like that I would suspect either the brushes or the switch. Check the brushes first. If they are almost worn away then they are probably the problem. If the brushes look OK then open the handle and inspect the switch. You can test the continuity of the switch with a multimeter set to test ohms.

I hope this helps!
