CS 50 problems help needed please

[woodworkwonders]

Hello All

I am new to the group but hope it will be as helpful as other forums.

I Have an Old CS 50 trimming table saw and it has stopped running.

It is getting power and is switching the protect switch (463936)( you can hear it pulling in).

I ordered parts and replaced the protect switch (463936) and the electric circuit (493787)

it is doing the exact same thing pulling in the protect switch and not moving the motor.

Any suggestions and tips about what it may be and how can I test if the motor has burnt out?

I love this saw and do not want to fork out for a new one yet.

this is the exploded drawing of parts for it.

Thanks a lot for any help

Hello Gary, welcome to the FOG.

I really suggest you let Festool's service department have a look at your saw, I doubt this forum will be much help for you in this case.

Thanks for the reply

Could be the brushes of the saw… Pretty easy to find out if that’s it.

If you are not comfortable with doing electrical troubleshooting you better ship it off to Festool.
