Crofter Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 After three years stuck in a somewhat damp shed, I pulled out my trusty old Makita chop/mitre saw and it... died. It tried to spin up feebly, then the blade brake didn't engage and it slowly span until it stopped. Fuse is good, outlet is good. I'm wondering if it's something simple like the springs for the brushes are stuck. Don't want to put a lot of time in to it if it's going to be a big job though. Any suggestions for what to check?

Temp Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Does it have a light or laser and do they work? Otherwise search youtube for vids like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I had this with my kango. Took it apart to inspect brushes. All good. Put it back together and worked perfectly. I suspect in hindsight a poor connection or stuck brush. The brushes on the Makita should be easily accessed, going by their other tools I own.
