Makita mlt100 table saw

[oliverw]

 Hi

 

I need to rewire this table saw.  Does anybody know about the 4 wires coming from the motor?  I would like to bypass the other components so that I can have a direct connection to mains, or does the motor need other components to run correctly?   

 

thanks in advance

I'm not familiar with the saw, but what "other components" do you mean?

What I mean by other components are those within the electrical housing under the table.  I'd like to connect directly to mains because I suspect that a part has blown, motor will not start.  Motor seems healthy though when tested with ohm meter.   I'd like to power the motor directly from 220v using my own switchgear.  

 

Thank you

Have you tested the switch? That would be my first suspect. A continuity test should provide you an answer.

Okay I took a chance and connected two of the four motor wires (which I believed to be correct)  to mains.  Motor runs fine.  It will now be switched off/on directly via circuit breaker.  This means I've bypassed the over-heat sensor and maybe something else but I need the saw to work.  By the way I did test the switch and it was working correctly.

 

Thank you very much for your interest.

Why would you want a setup like that? Especially hooking to a breaker on the wall in stead of a switch on the saw?

Hello, maybe it`s stupid question, but you checked only switch? Do you made check for mine wire? It can be damaged inside...
