Hi
I'm bit stuck on my latest project, I'm hoping someone here with more electrical know-how can help. After reading some articles on retro-fitting soft start modules to power tools I decided to track down a suitable part for my own Dewalt DW745 Type 4 table saw. As anyone who has this saw will know it is a very capable machine but the initial kick start is off putting and I've never got used to it, despite 6 years of ownership. I tracked down (what I hope) is a suitable module, branded CX-SS 24A/ 250V. This is higher amperage than what I ordered but I hope this won't affect the operation. There are a number of youtube videos that illustrate the fitting of a similar module to this very table saw and other Dewalt variants, however the wiring arrangement and schematic stamped on the module I have is different so I am wary of slavishly following instructions for a different product. The schematic on the module case is difficult to see from the photo so I've transcribed it and a "schematic" of the actual power switch, please see photos below.
In essence, incoming power cable (line in) is connected to pins 13 and 23, with noise reduction capacitor connected ac cross these pins also. A thermal overload reset button is wired in line from the line in neutral to pin 13.
Line out neutral and live from the motor are connected to pins 14 and 24 respectively.
I have spade connectors/ piggy back connectors, crimper and cable necessary to make the relevant connections all I need is some simple directions, if anyone could help I would be very grateful! Thanks for taking the time to read this.
