SOURCE: looking for a manual for a Dewalt 788 scrol saw

I also have this saw and when I had a problem with it, I carefully just started to take it apart and found it to be a really simple item to work on. Don't be afraid to take it apart on your own, everything is very simple to take apart and to put back together. my saw would not respond at all when I turned it on after not using it for awhile and I got it working without having to put any money in it.I also was not able to get it to put tention on the blade and again no problem for me to fix at no cost...simple, easy machine.

Where are the brushes in the dewalt 788 20" scroll saw? Mine keeps blowing fuses & I think the brushes need cleaned but don't know how to get to them

Blowing fuses is not caused by brushes unless there is a huge spark show going on and if that is the case your armature will be trashed as well - the electronic module in that saw is notorious for failure and that is where I would start

My Dewalt 788 Scroll Saw table has a problem: It's fine when level, but when inclining the table left, it contacts the blade. That's when I noticed there's vertical play in the table; the

First: if there is looseness in the table, it is dangerous. So I would check all the parts for wear. If, for instance, a knob worked loose, the bolt could have worn (via vibrating) the bracket, resulting in you being unable to tighten it correctly. Occasionally I take mine all apart and check it all over for just that reason. I also check all the knobs just before use to make sure they are all tight.
