Ps 420 opening > what is this small part?

[tim R]

Hi every one,
I had à problem with the swich button not coming back.
So I decided to open it to clean the dust, and suddenly a little part came out,
But I can't figure out where it should go...
Any idea of what it is and where it should go?

Assuming you are talking about the tiny pin in the upper left corner...
it controls the pendulum action of the blade. The simplest way to explain how the put it back together is to go to a Youtube video from the channel called Bradshaw joinery. Search for his tutorial on how to "upgrade" the saw. It is not a direct repair, but will be plainly obvious from the video.

Thanks for your reply,
You got it right,
I made a zoom on the second picture.

I'll have a look at this video.
Thanks again!
