  3. 6507 Sawzall doesn't work, No serial # ! Switch, brushes ?

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    So I fixed it ..........I took it apart to see what I could see. Then I plugged the cord into the body....played with the 2 speed switch and hit the trigger and got it to run ! So I put it back together and of course it DIDN'T run ! Scratched my head and to the cord off the body and took my box cutter blade and spread those pins open just a little, plugged cord back on body and then outlet......then I hit the trigger it RUNS...it both gears ! By taking the handle apart, the cord just fit a little better , than I was able to figure out what the problem really was !!

  5. 6507 Sawzall doesn't work, No serial # ! Switch, brushes ?

    The serial # has long gone been worn off !

     

    I have this OLD Milwaukee 6507 Sawzall that stopped working ! I had it  plugged into an extension cord it simply quit !

    I did then plug it directly into an outlet ..nothing !

    It doesn't make any noises when you play with the cord and/or the trigger !

    What I did on the job site in order to narrow down the problem and make sure it's NOT the cord itself, it was undone  then I took 3 small nails and put them into the holes , then plugged it into a GFI outlet and see if  had power at those nails !  I had a KLEIN current tool and at one nail it went red, saying that I do have power going through the cord !

    So the next question IS, it is the brushes, I pulled both out, they were clean, but they are only about 3/16 of an inch !

    So it begs the question, how little will these 6507 work with ?

     

    OR...is it the switch ? I would think if it was the switch, there would be some sort of intermittent thing going on when work it ?

    Not just dead ! ?

     

    So what can I do to figure out EXACTLY what the problem is ?

    Many thanks, Ted 

  10. Dewalt 20 V DCS 381 Saw Blade Lever replacement ?!

    in Dewalt

    Posted

    Hi ALL!

    I have a Dewalt 20 V DCS 381 reciprocating saw I got as a part of the 5 piece kit . It IS under 3 years , so the warrantee is good, but a pain, because the factory place is an hour away. Yes I know that Dewalt with send me a shipping coupon, but I'll be without the tool for some time !

    So I'm wondering how difficult is it to replace that little yellow blade thing ?

    I have looked on youtube and the  web can't find anything !

    And the part is easy to get on Ebay.

    Thanks, Ted
