I used my Rotozip once, off and on for about one hour total time. I put it away, very glad that I had bought it. It did a great job by the way. I did not need it again for another year and a half. Recently, I had another "honey do" project to take care of, so when I took it out of it's tool bag, I was certain it would take care of my project in no time. I plugged it in, hit the switch and nothing. So, I plugged it in another outlet... nothing. Shook all the cords to check for a broken wire... nothing. No power... nothing. Talk to me, is there a circuit breaker in there somewhere or do I have to send it back to Rotozip?

start with the cord. do a continuity check on it. then check the switch. then check the brushes, are they touching the commutator and moving in the slot. let me know if this does not work.

Your speed controller has failed. You will need to get it replaced, brushes do not give, those symptoms.

Press in shaft lock button, use supplied open-end wrench to loosen collet--RH thread and remove bit by hand.

The only tile that they are any decent at cutting would be ceramic, slate, or terracotta. Anything else is way too hard and even cutting the listed tile it's no joy to do. I would suggest using a 4 or 4 1/2" grinder with a diamond blade coupled with a wetsaw. hope this helps and good luck.

Hi again, I think you will be happy you opted for the warranty solution, I told you they stand behind their products, Thanks for sticking with it and I'm glad we could help Fixya!

This sounds like the Hand crank mechanism could be the problem. If it is going down in steps the gearing on the height adjuster could be slipping and 'jumping' teeth. When was the last time you gave the table saw really deep clean? Sometimes dirty and sawdust can get inside this machine. Sawdust can soak up oil and lightweight grease drying out areas that need the oil. Give it a really good clean and see if there is access to add a small amount of oil to the moving table lift parts.

Hi, Please rotate your locking collar clockwise in order to reverse the jam. Please review page 9 of your manual in part 1 of "installing the blade". You can also reference figure 3 on that page. Thank you.

It sounds like you are having difficulty tightening the blade on your Bosch 1587vs jigsaw. To resolve this issue, first unplug the tool and lift up on the knob and loosen the spindle lock. Then insert the blade and push up slightly while doing so and twist to align the blade with the roller. Make sure to turn past resistance until it clicks. If the issue persists, you may need to replace the "clic" assembly, part #2-602-025-901.

Hi, It sounds like you've called all 3rd party locations. Please call Bosch directly and request the part. And if they don't have it in the U.S. then you can request the phone number for their international locations. The U.S. phone number is 1-800-944-2904. Otherwise, I would search on ebay and alibaba to find the part that you've mentioned. Thank you.

you tighten arbor nut with lock up. try using nut wrench and rock the arbor back and forth.

Thanks your question. please see this video

Most electrical bench and table top tools have a part called a 'capacitor' fitted. These do occasionally fail. In simple terms it is a electrical component that stores a electrical charge. When you turn the table saw on the capacitor very quickly loads the motor with that charge boosting the power supply to get it up to speed. If you are doing this yourself wear RUBBER gloves to protect yourself from electrical shocks. They are usually quite simple to replace, However, Capacitors still hold a charge when the saw has NOT been used in a while AND when it is unplugged from the wall socket. They can give you quite a kick, some can actually kill you, if you aren't careful. The safest way to discharge a capacitor that I've found is to use a Capacitor Discharge pen, (often cheap to buy), or the bulb set up. Two short lengths of INSULATED wire with a bulb in the middle. With the table saw Unplugged and wearing rubber gloves touch one wire to one capacitor terminal and the other wire to the other terminal. Using a bulb it should light up then steadily fade. Once the bulb is totally off the capacitor should be safe to handle. BEFORE you remove the wires check the markings on the capacitor to make sure it isn't a directional flow of voltage. Some are and some are not.

Hi Rebecca, I hope this helps; BLADE INSTALLATION Set the blade orbit selector lever to position III. Push blade change button downward as far as it will go and turn the top handle three turns counterclockwise (viewed from the top of the tool). Insert the blade into blade plunger at a 90° angle to the cutting direction. With a slight upward pressure, turn the blade teeth forward (direction of cut) and guide the back of the blade into the groove in the center of blade roller guide. Pull gently down on the blade to seat the blade tabs in the plunger. With the blade in the proper position, turn top handle clockwise until a noticeable "Click" sound is heard, indicating that the blade is locked in place. Push blade change button upward to its original position (flush with the top of the top handle), and the saw is ready for use. Removing the blade is essentially the reverse of the installation procedure, however, take note that once the blade change button is loosened, gently push the blade upward to release the blade tabs from the plunger.

On the underside of the tool, on the same side as the trigger, there is a large button nearest the blade. I think it is yellow on that model. This will be a 'Push and hold' trigger to release the blade.
