    I keep getting Access Denied message. Says I must be invited. Any one able to help? Thanks!
  2. Thanks all!! I'll open the top cover and check wiring going up to the switch and recheck all the other wires. I did pull the circuit board and nothing visibly scorched. Yes, I've been using saw about 7 months. and done a lot of scrolling trying to build up inventory. When it quit it kinda acted like it had no power and was struggling to stay running for a few seconds then popped the fuse. Question:::: How do you get the brushes out? I remove the caps and they don't want to come out. When I've replaced brushes in past tools they all had a spring attached and just popped out. Motor does spin freely. I do have a circuit board ordered just in case. $85 wasn't bad. I've always been one to have spare parts on hand for things (ex wife said I was a hoarder, but whatever. LOL) My quandary is this: I'm retired and trying to start a small glass and wood gift/souvenir business here in Florida because Social Security sucks. Lots of snowbirds and vacationers that love craft fairs etc. I could order a Pegas but waiting until April for it is kinda out of the question. Other alternative is to grab a Delta for 381.07 off amazon and get the 4 year extended warrantee so at least I can get it fixed. I'm on a fixed income and dont have money for both. Last choice would be using my old tired 2 speed Dremel I've had for about 20 years.. Thinking NOOO!
  3. Yes, 1st thing I did when it quit. Still blew new fuses when I used the DW switch
  4. No extension cords at all. Plugged into foot pedal which is plugged directly into the outlet. Cant be moisture. Here in Florida it's humid all the time. I have a dehumidifier in the area of the scroll saw that runs 24/7
  5. Hey all Bought a new in the box DW788 off a guy that bought it and never got around to using it about 6 months ago. Needless to say no warranty. Today I'm scrolling along and it just quits. First I figured maybe the foot peddle. Plugged in direct and no go. Discovered the 3 amp fuse had blown. Got a new package of them and they blow soon as I hit the switch. Any thoughts? Possible burned up motor already? Picture for attention.. Thanks in advance!
