Mine stopped while making cuts. I blew out all the dust and checked the brushes and seems ok. Anyone have any suggestions?

plugged in? power cord broken? Switch? Outlet hot?

Look into it with a voltmeter to see where the voltage is failing.

I have a chop saw, not a Dewalt, but the first time I used it, it stopped too in the middle of a cut. Mine has an overload circuit breaker for the motor that tripped. Looking at some of the Dewalt manuals, they mention that depending on model, yours could have a circuit breaker, a fuse, or both that would stop it. Look at the manual for your model and see what they put on yours.

I checked manual and saw the circuit breaker mentioned, unfortunately mine doesn’t show one for it. I will try some of the other things and see what I can manage even though some of the things might be above my pay grade

Bad trigger switch ?? take the blade off before working on it !!

My 22 year old Dewalt miter saw needed a new switch assembly and replaced cord at same time looks and works like new, thx.
