At the fuse cartridge on the DW788 it says push to access the fuse. This does not open the cap to access the fuse. I don't want to force it open with a screwdriver. Please advise
Hi, if the fuse has never been changed it may just be stiff, also when
it says push it may be that your are not pushing in the right direction
some have to slide and push at the same time, however, assumingyou have tried this, then it would make sense to revert to the screwdriver
method , but gently and at the opposit end from the word push...T.C.

It did not fix my problem. My problem is in the "CON ROD ASSY" (part #82) and I found VERY TINY almost microscopic play in the bearing. I took the assembly apart, put it back togerther SEVERAL times and on my last ditch effort, it solved the knocking noise.... I don't think it will last long and probaby just have to replace the part or try to buy the same type bearing for cheap and press it in without damaging it so I don't have to get ripped off on the high dollar Dewalt part.
