Having purchased a DeWalt DW708 for a good price three years ago, it has sat in the box virtually untouched until this week, when I finally got round to the renovation work it had been purchased for in the first place!
Anyway, after only a few days of very light use it has started acting-up. After releasing the power switch the blade will continue to spin for several seconds, followed by a violent grinding sound as the brake kicks in and brings the blade to a stop.
Has anyone any experience of this type of problem with this saw. Or, does anyone have any experience of service support from DeWalt for tools well out of their warranty period, but barely used. I have contacted them by email, but have yet to receive a reply.
The thought of having to have a potentially expensive repair done is not something I'm looking forward to.
Any comments welcome (other than tough luck!)
thanks.
