Fuse

[Paul]

I've been trying to get the fuse out of this saw and can't seem to do it. I've pushed and pulled on it and the whole assembly wants to come out, but not the cap to give me access to the fuse.

Is there some secret to this? I don't want to break the fuse assembly.

Hi Paul, when you purchased your saw new, there was a tool Dewalt sends to remove the cover for the fuse. Try this fix first. Use a thin blade, flat screwdriver to open it. In the cover you will see two notches. Do not use the notch in very top, use the one that is out front. Find a flat blade screwdriver that will just fit the notch. Push it in, you should hear a snap sound. The fingers on the cover should let go and now all that is left to do is pull back on the screwdriver. Lets hope the cover will open for you! Happy Scroll Sawing!

I had the same problem. You just push in and up and the inside of the fuse assembly will just come out.
