Delta 36-650 won't turn off!

Terry Alexander

Hoping y'all can help.

All of a sudden, my saw will not turn off when you turn the power switch off.

Here are a couple of pics of the switch:





A. do you agree that is is the switch (and hopefully not the motor)?

B. do you have any idea where i can get a replacement switch? I'd like to get the exact switch as I am a little electrical challenged.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like it has to be the switch. Probably the contacts have welded themselves in the closed (on) position. (If the stitch would open (break contact) the motor could not run. You might be able to take it apart (unplugged) and separate the contacts and polish them with something like 400 or 600 grit sandpaper.

You may be able to get parts at ereplacementparts.com.

Grizzly is a good place to buy reasonably priced switches.
