I have an older Delta 34-080 power miter saw. This saw has been a very nice unit for many years, until recently.
While using it, I did a dummer and pressed the power switch while the blade was in contact with the wood. The motor stalled & buzzed loudly.. Maybe coincidence, but it seems that ever since that event the motor has sounded poorly (struggling) on starting the blade, and it no longer had that sweet smooth running sound that it had before. Also the blade brake no longer stops the blade, only slows it..
I pulled the brushes out to check them and they seem to be fine. I have not been able to find a repair manual for it, only user manual.
What might be the cause of this condition? How does the blade brake system work on these units?
Thanks!
