I had a router did that and the motor was burned out. It sounds similar in that you have a dead short that is knocking out the trip. I regularly blow my tool motors through with compressed air now to get rid of dust build up which I think might be a contributing factor to motor failure. Obviously you need someone to look at it but I suspect a new motor is required.

is the wood still on the blade??
in other words are you trying to turn a jamned blade if so do not turn it on

is you work fully supported so when you cut through the timber dosnt move[fall off]
or at worst you hand can hold it flat when cut through

which flip saw do you have and how old is it ??

[tomuk30]

hi the wood is not on the blade ,the model is DeWalt DW743N

you need to try isolating things like unplug the saw from the mains and see if it resets
then check the switches arent melted in the on position ect by unplugging and using a meter

Worn out brushes can cause the supply to trip. I had this with a washing machine once.

You should be able to isolate the electric and then remove the brushes, if they are worn just replace them and that should fix the problem.

In my dewalt chopsaw you can clearly see the brush holder screws on the motor housing, they are like a black blanking plug with a slot in it so that you can unscrew them with a flat screwdriver.

Brushes are normally made from carbon and are designed to wear out.

Most machines these days have replaceable brushes like this Dewalt drill-

But if Big-all knows that your model does not have brushes, it must be something else at fault.

@ BA & UHM, there are 2 versions of that flip saw theres the Standard version & the induction version so your both right.
@ tomuk30, you need to see which version you have you will need to check your manual to see if its a brush driven motor or an induction motor which requiers no brushes to operate.

[tomuk30]

yes will do ,any more ideas at whats the likely fault

[StyXSIS]

It could be the trigger ? Or it could be your sockets ring main fuse it should be a 32A fuse and that saw could be overloading the mains from that socket your pluged into because when you pull the trigger the machine pulls alot of amps to start the blade. Try pluging into a different socket outlet as ive found when i checked my mitre saw once it tripped certain sockets and the mains fuse but some others didn't so just give that a go.
