Dewalt DCS690 54 volt cut off saw starts up but them dies. Will not keep running.

[@akaredcrossbow]

I love how you toss the fasteners and parts all over the bench. If that was me, It would take a month to get it back together and I would still have extra parts leftover lol. Thank you for the video!

[@iamrebel8008]

Thank you for posting in landscape and not portrait. It can be hard to see everything in portrait since it has black bars and a smaller aspect ratio. Landscape all full screen really help the viewing experience. Thank you for the great content and insight.

@@deandohertygreaserhow did you learn to fix power tools?

[@bassmanjura]

and after he would fix you, he would say: That's her! :D

[@fredio54]

I reckon you more than got your moeny out of that one! Amazing that everything other than the motor survived when it was obviously maltreated (not cleaned and dried after use). Contractor life, sure, but... testament to the tool IMO. Bad luck on that winding.

[@boyroy00]

It really sucks that tool brands are maing tools that cant be fixed.

[@elgkas9928]

Excellent video!

[@deandohertygreaser]

Thank you very much!

[@mikemargiotta2671]

I always wonder with stuff like this if you can use the trigger part number to go around dewalt and source directly from the supplier. But they probably dont want to sell you just 1.

Stick with the old petrol con saw 👍

Is dust and paticularly sicky moist concrete dust settling on the windings the cause overheating....

[@juiceofsapho]

For those kind of money to replace the motor and electronics, perhaps it would be good investing in some stator/coil winding machine? Of course, assuming the rest of the system is in good shape...

[@0rtmasta]

I have a Milwaukee String Trimmer. It used to run flawlessly. This year after about 20 minutes use it shuts down. Reports online seem to indicate this is a common issue. I’ve tried various batteries. Is it possible being brushless something like this could have happened to it and others? It was drawing so much current it was starting to melt the contact terminals on the high capacity batteries. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

[@mateuszturek5760]

Hi, do you have parts from this saw for sale? I am interested in the engine controller, with an encoder, or possibly electronics with a stator

[@deandohertygreaser]

sorry no. i don't actual sell spare parts anyway

[@dzierzega]

Do you get dust and water in your battery compartment ? I found a bunch of dust today after work

Can you still find someone to rewind the motor?

[@dendenver6749]

Rewinding is not that difficult. There are numerous videos how to do that regarding Dewalt Flexvolt motors.

[@ozmobozo]

can be done

[@tonyazarian7429]

What is part number of your motor stator?

[@patrickbonner4841]

Jayuus your flat out

[@leroyporter3801]

Is there anything you could do to prevent damage to the trigger, like wrap the handle in tape or seal the seam with silicone?

[@tensazero]

Silastic or silicone the contacts, maybe.

[@10OZDuster]

they'd rewind that motor in Pakistan using new copper wire at a cost of less than 5 pounds for labor ! i'm not kidding !

Ask the the owner what he wants to do I would rather spent 400 then 6 just to fix it of it was me .and if it was me I would never buy a cut off saw in electric these should always be gas.

[@mrw6156]

I'm sure he will have asked the owner however that Euro 200 gap is going to be more than filled by a warranty on the new tool and the consequent peace of mind knowing you can earn a living without a further breakdown for a while. I have to say that there is probably an opening in the market for replacement units including the controller - big issue is that rewinding is time intensive and any faults elsewhere (as the cables go to a potted controller) are going to need to be factored into the price. I really can't see this giving a decent margin unless you send motors to SE Asia for rewinding. Then you would need to put in capital to fund a buffer stock before your repaired units came back (assuming you have a reliable supplier over there). All in all I can see why a new machine is just the easiest option. It goes without saying (so I will do so !) that the Makita equivalent has separate part numbers for the switch, motor, field etc ! The field for the Makita is much less than a quarter of the cost for the DeWalt assembly ....... Btw these saws are cordless for a reason - if you are based at one location then I can see the benefits of petrol but for use on a site - use existing batteries, no issues with maintaining / starting a petrol saw (or keeping fuel handy in a vehicle) it has big attractions - they wouldn't sell otherwise.

Why can't you fix 54v batteries?

[@catsnotcops_]

ill have to take an educated guess; some bms will lock themselves as soon as one cell (group) gets severely out of balance or over discharged. you can only revive them when you reprogram the chip on the bms(this has become increasingly popular among manufacturers). since many tools nowadays communicate with the bms, you cant simply use another, non-genuine, bms or no bms at all. i guess dewalt might not even sell the single bms.. so youd have to buy a new battery. thats the free market in a nutshell..

[@catsnotcops_]

oh and since its "18V"or 54V on those batterys (they automatically switch depending on the tool), the tool does definitely need to communicate with the battery. so this is also very handy for the manufacturer; to make customers absolutely dependent on exactely those DeWalt batteries (you probably cant get alternative bms solutions since youd have to clone not only the communication chip but also the entire communication "language " between tool and battery..

[@catsnotcops_]

@@riba2233 thats also true.

[@zaxmaxlax]

He said in another video he doesnt fix baterries because its not worth it(for him). Too much work to identify the bad cells, replace them, and the old ones will probably break too down in the road.

[@rbondy008]

I'm no eco warrior but am I understanding that if a cell goes down the rest (potentially good cells) all go as waste? Thanks. @@catsnotcops_

[@rbondy008]

I know petrol and oil can be a pain but it's still the way to go IMHO.

[@patrickbonner4841]

Clean it b4 ya start...your dammed if you do dammed if ya don't..!

Do ya have a dust extractor, for when you blow of the dust , that dust could be carcinogenic , or a place outside ya could blow the dust off ?

[@mrw6156]

He shows himself blowing it off outside in other videos - as well as coughing a lot - think a mask would help - I would be coughing up chunks a day

[@TheMingilator]

if you end up with a load of faulty flexvolt batteries, feel free to send them my way, i'll strip them for cells, will happily cover shipping

[@rsaj-cq6ne]

Why not rewinding the stator? being a stator no balancing is required. Just put the same wire with same turns.

[@mrw6156]

Cost - almost impossible to find a rewind place in a western country that will do that cost effectively - you used to be able to do that but unless you have a time machine to go back to the 1960s then you are out of luck (and if you did you would have other things to do than getting a cost effective motor rewind !)
