Brushes Makita
How to repair a miter saw electrical cord that is frayed next to the handle?
I bought a used Makita miter saw model LS 1030 at a garage sale for $35. Makita is a great brand and hope to have this for several years, especially after testing it. I noticed, attached to the handle, is the electrical cord which is slightly fraying. I probably just could use electrical tape but I'd like to take a little better care of this. I don't think I am in danger of being electrocuted so I need to state that upfront. I checked the parts diagram and I can buy a cord for some $14 or so but then I have to replace it myself (don't know how) and there is only so many $$$ and time I want to shovel into this. What do Board members suggest I do? Lastly, when I downloaded the manual it talked about replacing some brushes or something like that and I need to look at those but is that practical? Note that there are two questions above. Many thanks to all who can make a recommendation!
a couple of screws in the handle will let you separate the cover. You can probably tape up the cord if none of the inner insulation around the individual wires is damaged. If it is, then you can get a simple splice kit to repair it, or you can buy new SJO cord by the foot from places like home depot.
You need a minimum of 14 gauge wire and some heat shrink terminal adapters.
It will help if you pull the cord off, (take a picture first in case you forget how to put the new one in)
take it to the store and use it to match up the right size connectors. All together it might cost you 15 dollars for parts.
Brushes are easy to replace. The motor has two plastic screw caps on opposing sides, underneath of it there will be a spring loaded carbon brush which you can just pull out. You may need to order the brushes if you can't find a local repair shop that can sell them to you. Sometimes places like Home Depot offer repair service in their rental shop, so you can try asking them for brushes or where to get them.
