I have a Scheppach plunge saw.
If I pick it off the shelf and do a test spin, or a cut, it always fires up and works perfectly. If I then go for a second spin or cut, it practically always refuses to come on. After a delay ranging from a minute to 5 minutes, it will come on again, but normally only for one cut.
I have stripped it right down looking for a thermal cut out resistor, but there doesn't seem to be one. The only component visible is a safety capacitor (TNS-2TH) wired in parallel with the neutral mains input and microswitch.
Could it be a short in the windings? How do I check for this? As far as I can work out that capacitor should not stop it coming on at all, even if faulty.
The brushes look fine, and the switch is not exhibiting any faults testing the terminals.
Thanks for reading!
