I don't mean to sound too patronising, but I get all sorts coming into my repair shop. Have you checked the continuity up to the switch, i.e through the plug and cable? Also, remove the brush caps but leave the brushes in place and check the continuity across the back of the brushes. There should be a circuit cross the motor, and if there isn't it is probably just that the brushes are sticking slightly due to sawdust. If this is ok, then remove the brushes and check continuity from the live wire (with the switch locked on) to one brush holder and then the other. You should only get a circuit too ne holder. The do the same with the neutral side. Again you should only get continuity to one holder (the opposite one to the licve circuit). If you don't get continuity both ways, and the switch is new, this would indicate an open circuit/loose connection on the field coil assembly. If the armature was faulty the machine would normally still run but with low power and excessive sparking.

SOURCE: how do you remove the

Just remove the brush caps. You may need to use a small pick or needle to pop the brushes out. In this diagram reference number 14 is the brush cap. They are just like a screw so you need to turn them to the left (counter clockwise) to remove them.

My Makita circular power saw works then stops working, then starts again. Why is this happening?

Things to check: With the saw running, safely grab the cord by the boot and pull and twist it around. This is where a break frequently occurs inside the cord and when the saw is held in certain positions the break will either open or close. If the cord's OK, unplug the saw and remove the brush caps and check the brushes. If the brushes are less than 1/4" long or the springs are burnt or broke they won't make good contact with the armature. If the cord & brushes are OK your next recourse is to replace the switch (Makita PN 651172-0).

I can't get the brushes out of the saw

It sounds as if you might have a little more wrong with the saw than just the brushes.

I have a makita 5997nb circular saw that i have had for 26 years with no problems. but now it will not power up. I think its the cord. How do I replace it myself?

The cord ... or the switch ... or the brushes.

You will have to take the handle apart to access the end of the cord and check the switch. Test your cord with the ohm function of a volt/ohm meter.

Thanks for your question and good luck with your repair.
