How to stop my chop saw blowing the plug fuse?

My ten inch rebar chop (mitre) saw keeps blowing the plug fuse when I pull the trigger.

How to stop it blowing the fuse?

The flippant answer is to find out the cause of the over current and replace the part that's causing it.

You will need a multimeter set to ohms and use it to look for a short circuit. There's not many things it could be - the motor - the start / run capacitor if there is one - the on/off switch - the plug and cable - and if there's a laser eye then that too might be the culprit.

Happy searching...

Good Luck..., February 2017
