Hi there, I have scoured the internet trying to find an answer to my issue or even someone who has experienced the same issues I’m having with my dewalt 788. I purchased it new in March of 2019. I use it fairly often but average about 5-10 hours per week of cutting. I had to take it to factory repair in the summer ( after owning it for 2 months) because in the middle of a project it stopped working. I moved from one pilot hole to another and it wouldn’t turn on. They replaced the switch and that was that. Now it’s happened again however this time is different, the saw will start to sputter and I could hear by the sound of it that something was wrong. It stopped working again. My father in law happened to be in here that evening and for some reason pushed down on the top blade holder arm and the thing started going again. It isn’t useable as just as soon as it gets going again if you attempt to cut anything it sputters and slows down until it stops again and the only way to restart it is by pushing on the arm. Im at a loss as to what could be happening, dewalt factory service isn’t open until Monday and is over 2 hours drive each way so I was really hoping to find something to try and attempt to make this useable this weekend.
