It sounds like your switch has a short circuit. It is quite unusual for this to happen and due to the nature of the fault I would highly advise not using the saw until it is sorted. If you are uneasy about working on the electrical parts of this you can find your nearest service agent on their website. Hitachi service page, put ypur postcode in the box on the top right.

How do I replace the linear ball bearing on a c8fb2 Hitachi miter saw

Its not too difficult:
1) There are 2 retainer pins located on the rear slide support (#4 on breakdown) - carefully drive these out with a punch - be careful to support the bracket so you don't break it.
2) remove the rear support and slide the saw head and arms out of the bearing.
3) Remove the 2 covers (front and rear) over the bearing
4) loosen the allen head set screw on the housing that holds the bearing in place
5) using a large socket and a plastic hammer - gently tap out the old bearing.
Reverse process to replace.
Do not use grease or oil on the bearing or slides - use a pure, clear silicone spray that dries completely - grease & oil attract & hold dirt and debris and will cause bearing failure.

How do i remove (and replace) the carbon brushes on a hitachi c8fb2 moter saw? I removed the brush caps and can pull on the springs but not moving. DO i just pull harder? I'm afraid to break it in there.

After removing the black brush caps, take compressed air and blow any debris out. Next take a pair of needle nose pliers and gently pull the brush,,, ( you can use a moderate force). If it does not pull out you may need to remove the black vent cover adjacent and use a tiny screwdriver between the brush and the armature, as there may be a slight burr on the brush. Good Luck.
