Just set up my brand new Hitachi C10RJ table saw. When I hit the on switch, it will only stay on as long as I hold the on switch. as soon as i let go, it stops. WTH? Bad switch? Or is it me?

SOURCE: ge dryer wont stay running

SOURCE: Windshield wipers stay on delay all the time.

A wire is shorted out or part of the switch is bad.

SOURCE: Delta Table Saw stopped running

I have a table saw that the cord from the motor plugs into the the back of the on/off switch. I yours is configured like that, unplug the motor cord from the back of the switch and plug it in to the wall and see if the motor will run. If so replace the switch.

Go to searspartsdirect.com and put in your model number. Look at the motor and wiring section. Look at item 16. The motor overload protector. (probably your reset button) WIth saw unplugged, unwire one sid of this switch and test with an ohm meter. You should read through the switch. If it is open then that's why the saw doesn't work. Many of this type of oveload requires quite a push to reset as you're flexing a klixon disc back to make contact. If is open and you can't reset, it's available there although a bit high priced.
