Not having a $5 module installed by default is a shame for DeWalt.

I am not sure why I was stressing about doing this upgrade, but it was super easy. It works very very well. I appreciate your posting this solution. Very well-done tip.

I added the soft-starter and its worked flawlessly and is a great addition - thanks!

Thanks for the clear instructions and guide. It was very helpful. I installed in on my DW7492 and worked perfectly.

Thanks for the clear instructions! I've just installed a similar unit in my saw, and had no trouble following this guide.

I have been using my DWE7491rs for over 2 yrs all the while bitching about the hard starts. Had no idea I could add a soft start module. Amazing! I did add a 1' x 3" x 36" aluminum box extrusion to the fence which drastically helps the lead in and out of the cut on this saw. Awesome tip, great video that should be included in the manuals...lol!

I might have a newer version of the saw, it has screws on the front and they have made the cover smaller so it cant fit the soft start unit inside the box. i made slots on the side for the wires and installed the ss unit outside the box. Thanks for providing a detailed guide, it got me to do this mod.

Excellent ! I just followed your tutorial and it perfectly works on my 7485, thx !

Very clear explanation, tried it today and works like a charm. Very happy with the result !

Thank you for putting in the work to post this! Very Useful!

Brilliant, dude! Fantastic work! 😃 I'm going to look for one of those! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thank You For this video, just installed module. Works like a charm

Thanks, i am going to build it tomorrow just like you showed.

Well I didn't even know you could do this. So bought one off eBay, fitted it at the weekend and it works! Nice one.

Easy to follow instructions, thanks for the video!

I bought a Dewalt DWE7491RS,the switch is the same,I checked the part number to be sure and they are identical but the wiring and colors are not.Since the switch and motor are the same,just connect the soft mudule as explaned.For my part I used Hitachi 371468 Soft Start C10Rj without any issues.I'm glad!

This is for sure the best tutorial on youtube to bad the KR230-16A lodule has these a b c’s in a different order

The best instruction of all video's. Just simple and good to see. It's working perfectly on my Skill tablesaw. But it was difficult to fit de slowstart modul in de box. Maybe the electricity box of a Skill tablesaw is a little bit smaller then a Dewalt.

Well that does it that gets rid my last issue with my Bosch jobsite. As I understand it this will work with any 15A tool. Looks like I'll be sticking with it for a while longer. Thanks.

Thanks for this, really helpful and well presented. I have that exact module and saw, so I'll be doing this in the week.

I neeeed this for another brand of saw ... actually two I have that'd be instantly so much better with this mod !! Thank you so much for his excellent tip !

really well done video. Right to the point. Thanks!

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing sir.

My module was marked different than your module but i just copied the colours of the wires and it worked a treat many thanks🤘

This is a must-have - I just installed it and my saw is not jumping around anymore.

Such clear instructions and video. Great Job

I like it! Thanks for sharing.

short and clear, thanks

Wow this is amazing, will this work on my DeWalt 12-in miter saw? That thing jerks like crazy when I hit the trigger. I would like to put this on my table saw and my miter saw.

thanks a lot, I succeeded thanks to your video ❤

@welldonetips does it works on normal AC single phase motor or Air condition compressor ?

Thank you very much....greetings and Happy new year🎉🎉🎉

Prezado, eu tenho uma DW745, gostei da sua ideia, você também saberia me informar, o que é instalado para a máquina parar mais rápido quando desliga, igual a esse modelo que adicionou o sistema de partida suave? Muito obrigado e um forte abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

Would this likely work for other mitre saws also?

Great video!!

Dear internet stranger. I don't know why I trusted some random guy on KZfaq with my very expensive machine. But I thought, hey it's 3 wires. How hard can it be? My hands were a little sweaty when I pushed the start button. But oh boy, this worked like a dream. Life is about taking risks. Thanks.

Couldn't be more clearly explained

I have sourced a module! Do you have links to the connectors and cables used?

I was really surprised how much cutting power (and torque) this saw had out of the box. I've used other (10" saws) previously and was pretty surprised with the speed and cutting ability of this Dewalt saw.I have bolted mine to a table to minimize movement which I highly recommend.This is a Great saw kzfaq.infoUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe with a light to see your cutting line (not a laser line).I'd recommend this saw fro anyone looking to upgrade from a 10" miter saw.

Thanks for all those info and details. Do you think it will work on model DWE7480 10" portable saw table saw as well?

Done! Thanks a lot !

Excellent tuto d'installation du soft start sur la scie Dewalt Merci pour ce partage très utile 😊😉

I've ordred the XS-12/D3. Will that work too?

Thank you!!)

Can you share the link to the motor soft starter module?

Hola... Realice lo mismo con mi mesa dewalt y el aparato lo adquirí en Amazon Alemania.. El resultado es genial.. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱👌

These are must for a off grid work shop, the hard starts are very hard on inverters, I've blown 1 inverter thanks to table saws, but with the soft starts there are no more blown inverters

I have dewalt 7492, but i cant start it, because when i try to start it my fuses goes out. I have been using festool and bosch and thous worked good, no fuses goes out.

Do you think this could be used for other equipment? If so how would you wire it? Eg for Audio power amplifier in 240V 10A circuit (Australia) - 2400W maximum input. Would you have Wire C connect to Load, B to the incoming Active/Live, and A ?

Seems great. Does this cause the saw to generate a lower peak load on the power grid? (Prevents the fuse to blow?)

could you please put a light on your wires coming from the motor. it looks like there are wires doubled up there. my swig h is clean with only one wire on each terminal.

Will this work on DW745?

Is it possible to install the module in a external box with a power socket so i can simply connect my table saw to it, without installing it on the machine?

Thanks!

Does this reduce the peak current on start up of the motor? That would help with powering this by solar panels, batteries, and inverters.

Good sir

Hello i would like to know what is the small yellow box inside the switch, mine got fried while i was using it…. (I hope its just a lemon unit) tho ive been using my saw for almost 3 years now….

Hi, connection of my new Dewalt DWE7491 is different the Blue wire is connected to Number 13 and the Brown wire is connected to 33 so which one i need to follow? thank you

anyone got a link to where I can buy all this ?

Can anyone tell me what size spades were used here? please.

I always hated how table saws start like they do, your invention sounds great to me. I wonder if I can find that soft start thing on Amazon, trouble is, in the US we use 120 ac volt power.........

Bosing is that the same switch to Makita tablesaw mlt100

Would this help with an inverter that can't handle the start up load of a drop saw?

Thanks for the clear explanation i am gonna do that. Its very scary start dewalt saw.

Hi I really want to do this but I can't find the splitter component you use anywhere? I'm based in the UK, I imagine it's a common component I just don't know what to search for.

The wires on the soft-starter module appear to be a bit thin for that much current. Do you know what guage wires they are?

Good

can i install it on110v version?

CAN I USE IN ANOTHER TABLE SAW, LIKE STANLEY OR MAKITA ??? ... PLEASE GIVE ME A LIGHT ABOUT THIS ... TKS !!!

Just for fun, if wire C connected to the brown wire of the motor, and wire B to terminal 13 of the switch, and then wire A connected to the brown wire of the motor and terminal 33 of the switch, it would work the same.

Do you know what is actually inside this module and how it works?

Dewalt DWE7492 제품을 사용하고 있습니다. 소프트 스타트 모듈 제품을 구매하고 싶습니다. 어디에서 구입할 수 있는지 알려 주십시요

is there a 3 phase variant?

why in usa the price of Soft Start Starter XS-16/D3 JRR-01 Improved version of the XS-12 / D3 on ebay is $27+ $14 .99 shipping fee? in your area only 9 euro?

Phase Neutral are inverted

Install-connect a soft start and shutdown (sparks fly like fireworks on the day of the holiday-electric motor area) of the dynamic brake on the table saw DeWALT DWE7492, DeWALT DWE7485 What do you think the brake shortens the life of the engine ?? Should it be done? If not, can you share your reasoning?

Will I lose my warranty if I connect a soft start module?

During my first use of a Festool Circ Saw, I thought it was broken due to the soft start. lol

Отличная работа! Скажите пожалуйста какой размер: "штекерных клемм", Вы ставили в выключатель? Спасибо.

What size spades are these?

My wires are on the other side. What do I do?

Ive just sold my dewalt saw as its far to loud for home use

Where did you buy this soft start. And what type of male & female connector did you use.

I also bought this but I am a little concerned. The cables running from the module are 0.75mm (so thin). The amp rating for 0.75 gauge cable is max 6amp. This will be running a table saw that uses well over 6 amp. I am going to see if I can replace the wires myself with at least 1.5mm ones. I am at al means no electrician, but have installed electric wiring before. As far as I know running heavier amps on such a thin cable can cause overheating of the wire and possible electric fire. I don’t want thatvin my shop. What do you think? Anyone here more knowledgeable about electricity that can give some feedback? Maybe I am exaggerating, but better safe then sorry!

why not install this in a power strip instead, that way you can move it around to different devices if needed?

Insulate the blue one!

Niestety po zamontowaniu softstartu mamy skutek uboczny. Spadek mocy silnika.

Done, thanks for the idea.

For everyone that received a soft start module with different arrangement of colours and letters, follow the wiring directions in the video for the letters, don't follow the colours.

Hi everybody, any of you guys who installed this soft starter module have had issues after running the power tool during months or years? I am just concern with the quality of these cheap modules and how are going to behave after a thousands starts/stops. Anyway nice tip

I only have 4 wires on my saw. So damn.

Nice! Thanks! I tried to install soft start module for my DeWalt DWE7492-QS by using your manual and it works fantastically! 🤪👍 The biggest difficulty was to unplug connectors, they are plugged very tightly but after playing with this I managed to do this 🙂

Interesting but i cant find this under 100€ anywhere ather then aliexpress and i would never order any electicals from china

Dewalt table saws are rated at 20 amps. That module is insufficient amperage for a Dewalt table saw

In reality Dewalt is not concerned with supplying a TOP bench saw: -The internal dust insulation has been changed, even so the machine releases a lot of dust. - It's a noisy machine. - The consumer does not have the option to buy this machine at 127 volts. - No disc brake - Goniometer with clearance. - There is no flange size option, plastering the consumer to buy cutting discs of another size (should come shaft hole flanges of other disc sizes as an accessory). - The cutting edge is out of adjustment. - The angle adjustment knob is too hard as well as unreliable. - Does not fit 254 mm disc, only 250 mm. When starting and stopping the engine, strangely "spark". DISAPPOINTMENT! The industries, such as Bosch, Makita, Dewalt etc. it is the same disrespect towards the consumer. Adilson you're right! Enough of watching videos from KZfaqrs running their hands over the heads of the saw manufacturers just to beg and beg a shut up and in favor of GARBAGE!!!!!!! People who keep selling themselves to the manufacturers of saws and tools in exchange for "jabá". The reality is one, for tool manufacturers, we are considered third class consumers, not to mention the lack of safety and quality! We cannot and must not accept these equipment and tools without quality, safety and respect for others, it is the lack of maturity prevailing at the expense of reasonableness, common sense, ethics, safety and respect! We cannot accept that we Brazilians are treated as third-class consumers, denying us and making us have to consume products without quality. We don't have to accept what the manufacturers want to sell us and push down our throats, precarious, limited machines, which fall short of our needs. Today, the market has a lack and need for portable saws with better quality, as well as features and safety. This "little chat" and the justification of the industries that these machines are for construction sites only serves to relieve them of launching better saws. Year after year the so-called "releases" and or "new" do not have effective advances and improvements. It is the same as always, the accommodation of industries. What really changes is just price, always more expensive, without significant effective improvements for the consumer!
