I have a TSG 173 -110volt machine I bought second hand 25 years ago, still working strong. It has a second switch on the handle which is turned on when flipped over by a bi pass switch adjacent to the 2 main switches. I believe the handles were prone to breaking when the machine was transported and fell over. I would be lost without the Elu machine. Lubricating the handle system helps it to work smoother.

Great fix. 12 years ago I bought a used Dewalt DW743 - missing riving knife and mitre lock lever handle. An excellent machine nevertheless, which has seen sterling use since. She's due a complete stripdown and rebuild but I'm struggling to find sufficient resources online apart from spare parts. Any ideas? I have brought back to life a couple of Dewalt drills, a Makita Mitre saw, a Nilfisk wet & dry vacuum cleaner, so I'm not averse to having a go.

Hi as the channel says you can do it. What I do is find an exploded diagram of the tool your working on and then start taking the thing apart. Highlight any parts that need replacing on the exposed diagram. Once its all in bits clean up and start rebuilding. If it is really complex like a Auto gearbox etc I put the various cluster of bits in separate plastic bags to make reassembly easier. Keep us posted. You can do it 👍

Good solution with the aluminium strap. I wonder if the DeWalt handle is the same? Some of the early DeWalt router spares are compatible with the later Elu routers, so there is a chance.

Hi, yes early Dewalt 743,742 hand the same handle as its the same saw.You might even be able to fit the new type handle and internals but thats another video. I uploaded the video last night thinking it was private, as had yet to put a proper title. You can do it.

Hi yes that handle is the same as the first version of the Dewalt 742/3. You can do it 👍

My dewalt saw will only start up if I kick start the blade by spinning it by hand. What part can I replace to rectify this problem please

Hello that's the starting capacitor. I had the same once on a Dewalt. You switch it on and nothing happens unless you spin the blade by hand then it starts up. Get the capacitor changed and it will be safer to start. You can do it 👍
