bubbaloo158 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Howdy all... I was just doing some cutting on my 788. While threading a hole my foot accidently touched the pedal while the arm was up. It made a funny noise. I finished getting ready for the cut. I stepped on the pedal. Nothing. Keep in mind that I only TOUCHED the pedal - just a tap - nothing more. The first thing I checked was the pedal... I plugged in the light and it was working fine. I then noticed what looked like a reset button on or near the motor. I depressed this, held it for about 60 seconds, and still nothing. I do know that it isn't one of my house breakers because everything else I plugged into the same plug works. I am at a loss as to what happened. Surely I didn't burn the motor, did I??? I'm in panic mode here. Hoping some of the great wisdom that I get from here all the time will come through and get me up and running again.

bubbaloo158 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 After I put up my post about my problem I went back down to the shop. Just for fun I had a look up in one of the cupboards to see if I could find the manual. I wasn't holding my breath over it because I am notorious for misplacing manuals. Who needs them right? Well lo and be hold, there it was!!! I couldn't believe my good fortune. I came to the page with some fuse info and knew that my problem was solved. I went up to the electronics store and got the new fuses, rushed back home to put them in. Success!!! Learning something new every day.

Travis Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I heard the Dewalt had a fuse in a strange place. I'm glad you found out your problem and back making sawdust again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjR Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I blew one of those fuses also! I have no idea how I did it. That was about 2-1/2 years ago. I have used it a lot harder since and never blown another one. I do keep a few in the same box; that I keep my blades in. Happy New Year and A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of the sawdusters!

qlty Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Can you tell us where the fuse is located and the size (amp rating) of it just in case some of us don't have an owners manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qlty Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Can you tell us where the fuse is located and the size (amp rating) of it just in case some of us don't have an owners manual.
