How to replace a power cord to a saw

If your Hitachi C10FS compound miter saw is running unsteadily and the power cuts in and out constantly even after installing a new switch and brushes, there may be a few possible reasons for this issue: Loose or damaged connections: Check all the electrical connections in the saw to ensure that they are properly connected and not damaged. Loose or damaged connections can cause intermittent power cuts. Faulty power cord: The power cord could be damaged or have a loose connection, which can cause the power to cut in and out. Inspect the power cord carefully, and if necessary, replace it with a new one. Faulty motor: If the motor is faulty or damaged, it can cause the power to cut in and out. You may need to have the motor repaired or replaced. Electrical interference: If the saw is being used in an environment with high levels of electrical interference, this can cause the power to cut in and out. Try moving the saw to a different location to see if this resolves the issue. If you have checked all of these potential issues and the problem persists, it may be best to take your saw to a professional for further diagnosis and repair.

you can replace it your self . you can cut cord shorter and put on a new plug. @ home depot you can replacement parts

more likely it is the brushes, there should be two plastic plugs on the side of the motor case with slots for a screwdriver. remove the plugs and take the brushes out. they should have a replacement number on them if not the user manual may list them

Make your own. If you cut through the cord by accident you can go down to your local hardware store and buy a piece of wire that is the same gauge as the one on the saw. Get a standard plug end too and wire it up the same way the saw is wired. You can splice into the existing wire off the saw, just make sure you use plenty of electrician's tape and that the wires are insulated from each other.

Yes, it will require that you "crack" the case, but it isn't that difficult to do. Suggest wire ties so that you don't have to do the replacement very often.

Are you operating the saw on a 10 amp circuit or with a long extension cord? Table saws need at least a 15 amp circuit and should not be used with an extension cord. If absolutely necessary the extension cord should be no less than 12 guage. Tabel saws will run OK on a 10 amp circuit but as soon as you apply a load (try to cut wood) the power requirements go up to keep the saw turning. If you can, plug it into another outlet on a higher capacity circuit breaker or at least closer to the breaker box. If it still pops the breaker you may have bearing problems in the motor that are creating too much friction. This would make the motor work harder to turn so it would draw excessive power and trip the breaker.

Remove the recoil cap cut the knot of the old cord off pull out the string. Cut a new cord the same length thread it in and knot it . rewind the spool until the cord in the spool. fish the cord out of the pull hole and tie on the pull handle

as long as the wires are intact it is still double grounded and yes you can replace the cord, as to not working sounds like a wire is broken

Cordless tools lose power as the battery drains, while corded tools deliver reliable, consistent performance with unlimited run time. Corded reciprocating saws range from less than 5 amps to 15 amps or more, with more than 10 amps providing optimal power for heavy-duty commercial use.
