Have relatively new (month old) milwaukee 2630 circular saw. Worked fine for about a dozon cuts, and then just stopped mid cut. Tested batteries on other tools - they work fine. Is there an internal breaker or reset? There was no binding, smkoke, smell, etc, and the the blade rotates freely as when first purchased.

I dont know how old the tool is but when I worked on them it was notorious for exploding the commutator and damaging the brush holders, hopefully yours didn't do that. You have voltage at both brush holder then I would remove the brushes (UNPLUG TOOL FIRST) making sure they are not sticking in the tubes and while they are out rotate the tool by hand and look for any noticable difference in the commutator bars. Check all the connections from the field to make sure the circuit is complete like it sounds that you have done and if so that just leaves the two items I mentioned. Let me know if I can help further.

If the switch fell apart you will have to replace it. If the saw is old a lot of time a newer switch can be substituted with success. Take the parts of the switch to a power tool service center and they should be able to find you something close.

the field is in upside down, remove it and rotate it 180 degrees. Let me know

I would go to Milwaukeetool.com and download a breakdown for this tool. But all you have to do is remove the screws holding the handle assembly to expose the switch area and cord. I think they are a T-20 Torx, after removing the half make a note of the wiring before removing the old cord. trim the leads using the old cord as a guide and reinstall. what you want to do is when you reinstall the screws back them until you feel the first thread so you don't rethread it. These are thread forming screws and after a time they will strip out the threads. It is really quite simple

You can try to lube the bushings, but they will always start to squeal again. I have tried just about everything, 2 cycle oil works good, wd-40 is a little thin, blaster works ok for a while, reg 3m oil forget it, motor oil, no, white grease, hard to get in there, axle grease, yes, but you have to take the bushings out. The oils, you don't have to take the saw apart. Hope this helps.
