bad cord, switch wired wrong, or bad motor. Pull the cover off the motor. Disconect the power. Sping the balde by hand and look at the bars on the comm, end of the armature. They should be evenly colored and the spacing between them should be even and clean cut looking. If there is heavy discoloration on one or two bars or heavy pitting between a couple bars the armature is likely bad.
Having the same problem. removed the switch and had it tested. They said it's good. Checked continuity through the cord. Good. Going to replace brushes...but then while taking resistance readings I notice the yeloo wire on the left side of switch was shorted to the white. Is that just a ground and neutral? SHoud it read that way?
if you have a volt/ohms meter remove the handle half to expose the wiring and unplug tool test the cord by itself and if ok continue on thru the brush holders.
That's not good! Either the switch itself is faulty, or you may have enough sawdust wedged into the switch housing that the switch doesn't have the room to click off. It's wedged to the on position. Either way, the housing needs to be disassembled to find out.
This is common IF the blade clamping nut becomes loose... the blade will free wheel on the arbor after the motor stops. It can tear up the arbor so investigate this possibility immediately.
was this tool recently repaired? Also check to make sure the blade is installed correctly, Dewalt does not offer wiring diagrams online so I would suggest calling them to see if they can send one as a PDF file to you. But first ensure for proper blade installation and if it has been recently repaired sometimes the field can be installed 180 degree out, also the wiring could be as you think incorrect. I again would call them
