I’m an avid reader but never feel confident enough to contribute very much so it’s a while since I posted on this forum but I thought I’d just share with you the accident I had this morning on my table saw. I was ripping some 25mm timber, guard in and riving knife in place, when the saw stopped dead. I switched off the saw and also at the plug. I thought, I wonder if the blade will rotate freely so, like an silly person I grasped it between thumb and forefinger to see if it would spin. It span alright! taking a chunk out of my thumb. I can only think that it was stored energy in the spindle.
I won’t be doing that again in a hurry. A trip to A&E and all’s OK except my saw won’t operate at all. I’ve checked the fuse in the plug which is OK and can here a slight clunk from the NVR switch but nothing else. Does anyone know if there’s an internal fuse. The saw is PK200. Any other thoughts on what to look for to fix the saw would be appreciated.
Many Thanks.
