How to troubleshoot a Dewalt miter saw.

[Rich]

I have a DeWalt DW705 12" miter saw. Nothing happens when I squeeze the trigger. There is power to the trigger. The trigger tests fine. The brushes are in fine shape. What is the next trouble shooting step?

The next step is the brush holders. Remove springs and brushes. Next remove the end cap, remove the brush holder by gently prying up and inspect. If the metal prongs fall off it has burnt them off, this is usually what happens or they crack in the plastic. Replace holder.
