Sam777 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hello Fellow Members, I have been totally away for nearly one year now. We just finished moving from SCal to San Antonio Texas . I have been trying to do some scrolling and found out that my Excalibur 16 is not working with my FOOT SWITCH but it did before the move. The switch works fine if I plug a light in the back but not when I plug the saw. I thought there was problem with the switch so I just bought a new one but issue is the same. Can someone help me please? Thank you all Sam lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Does you saw work normal with your saw's on/off switch? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl S Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 I did electrical Maintenance for 43 years and my first question was usually, "is it plugged in? and is it turned on?"surprisingly, that fixed many problems. LOL. OCtoolguy, Fab4 and barb.j.enders 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 I got to admit though.. I did the same thing when setting up my new Hawk.. I tried the saw first just using the main switch.. then I moved it to where it was going to be parked and hooked up the foot switch.. I almost called Bushton and said I want to return it for a full refund.. after waiting several months to even get the thing and other issues I had with them.. Glad I found the switch off before I did that.. So you're not the first one to do that.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Don't let them kid you, they have all done it or similar. Heck, just the other day I tried to put a blade in backwards... OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
