DeWalt DW705 user manual

There could be several reasons why your DeWalt chop saw won't start. Here are a few possible causes and troubleshooting steps:
1. Power supply: Ensure that the chop saw is properly connected to a power source and that the outlet is functioning correctly. Check if the power cord is damaged or if the circuit breaker has tripped.
2. Reset overload protection: Some DeWalt chop saw models have overload protection systems. If the motor overheats, the saw might automatically shut off. Wait for the motor to cool down and reset the overload protection by pressing the reset button.
3. Faulty switch: The power switch might be defective, preventing the saw from starting. Check if the switch is damaged, loose, or if any wires are disconnected. If required, replace the switch.
4. Carbon brushes: Over time, the carbon brushes in the motor can wear out, causing the saw to stop working. Inspect the carbon brushes for signs of wear, such as short or worn-down bristles. Replace the brushes if necessary.
5. Motor issues: If none of the above solutions work, it's possible that there is a problem with the motor itself. It might have burnt out or experienced some internal damage. In this case, it's recommended to contact DeWalt customer support or take the chop saw to an authorized service center for further diagnosis and repair.
Always prioritize safety and ensure the chop saw is unplugged before performing any troubleshooting or maintenance tasks.

There could be several reasons why your DeWalt DW705 miter saw is not turning on. Here are a few common troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Check the power source: Ensure that your miter saw is properly plugged into a functional power outlet. You can also try using a different outlet to eliminate the possibility of a faulty socket.
2. Check the power cord: Inspect the power cord for any damages, cuts, or frayed wires. If you notice any issues, you may need to replace the power cord.
3. Reset thermal overload: Some miter saws have a thermal overload protection mechanism that automatically shuts off the tool to prevent overheating. Allow the saw to cool down, and if applicable, locate the reset button and press it to reset the thermal overload.
4. Check the power switch: Ensure that the power switch is in the "on" position. Sometimes it may get accidentally switched off.
5. Safety interlock system: Some miter saws have safety features such as blade guards, bevel locks, or trigger locks that must be properly engaged for the saw to operate. Check if any safety mechanisms are not fully engaged, preventing the saw from turning on.
6. Motor issues: If none of the above steps work, there may be an issue with the motor or internal wiring. In this case, it is recommended to contact a professional or the manufacturer's customer service for further assistance or to have the saw inspected and repaired.
Remember to always take necessary safety precautions and refer to the instruction manual provided by the manufacturer.
