Well, it's fixed. I opened it all up. Didn't see anything broken. There was a mixture of sawdust and grease gunked up all throughout. Now, as I was pulling a piece out, a ball bearing came out. I don't know if it was already out of place or if it came out when I pulled the piece out. I cleaned everything up and put everything back together and it worked. So, either the jolt from it falling over knocked out the ball bearing and messed with the switch lever or the jolt knocked some gunk in the wrong place. Regardless it works fine now on a simple light test (haven't tried the table saw).
The true miracle of this investigation was actually finding the ball bearing that popped out, hit the floor and rolled about without me seeing it. On Sat, Apr 19, 2014 at 1:46 AM, subprong <subprong@gmail.com> wrote:
Thanks for any help. I'll probably see if I can take it apart further this weekend (and get pics) as I don't really want to buy another if I don't have to.The other evening I accidentally knocked it to the ground. I find out this evening that it no longer works. I took the top cover off. As far as I can tell the actual switching mechanism still works (didn't see any broken parts, just a lot of saw dust that I vacc'ed out) and the wires were still connected. However there is another compartment under the cover which I haven't opened yet.Any thoughts on what the problem could be. Could it be a broken part or would the mere shock of the assembly hitting the ground somehow cause it to quit?
