SOURCE: I need to know how much oil goes into a skilsaw worm drive resvr.

Haven't heard anything so I checked the Milwaukee worm drive saw and they recomment about 1/2 oz. Make sure you use an oil for a worm drive that is not foaming. Hope this helps. Also when checking oir level have the shoe set for max depth and on a flat surface remove the oil plug, when filling tip the saw on its side and fill, turn back over and allow excess oil to run out if overfilled.

You have large plastic screw on the saw, remove it and fill the oil to bottom of threads and that should be it.

SOURCE: How much/what type of oil goes in my old wormdrive saw?

their owners manual doesn't give an exact quantity however they say to unplug the tool first then remove the fill plug and the lower plug and the oil should run out past the first thread. they recommend using their oil 80111 8 oz. tube however any good worm drive lubricant will work, Don't use anything like gear lube because the worm drive lube has an additive for anto foaming. Let me know if you need more assistance

SOURCE: I have a Skilsaw wormdrive

they make special "wormdrive" oil that is similar to gear lube but i has an additive for foaming. You should be able to go to any repair shop and buy a small bottle of the wormdrive oil. I would not recommend using anything else or you might damage the gears. Let me know if you need help finding the oil and if so give me your general location in the US and I will try and help you further.

Skilsaw wormdrive stops working but if I wiggle the cord at the handle it sometime starts and will run until I take my finger off the trigger. Now it won't start at all even after wiggling the co

Replace the cord. Cords get internal breaks by the handle or boot because that's where they have the most bending movement. The wires break inside where you can't see them. When you wiggle the cord the connection is remade, usually with a spark hot enough to hold them together for a short time. When the saw turns off and the cord moves again the weak point breaks again. You can test this by pluggin in the cord and checking for voltage where the cord attaches to the switch.

How do I replace the spring on the retractable blade guard on a model 77 worm drive skilsaw?

Bearings maybe......I'd also check the armature fan and see if it came loose. Either way it doesn't sound cheap!

I need to know what kind of oil do I use to change the oil in my skill saw 77? Mine is pretty dirty, runs great but thought I should change the oil. Thanks Bill

Use Skil worm drive oil #80111 ($5-$6.00) at Home depot, or Bosch WD7LUB 2.3 FL. OZ. (I bought for $3.50 at Bosch service center.)

Skilsaw is 2 months old. sounds like the bearings are shot already. has an odd klunking sound

even its just a 2 mos.old if your power tool was over used there is the tendency to sound like krunkling sound.,particularly when the unit you bought is just an imitation.
now,if the skilsaw you have now is let me say genuine,not overused and you are not comfortable with the sound you hear from it,then there is the posibility that it has a factory defect.Now,becoz it is already unto you,you can open and check the bearings,and also the "half moon" between the power gear and the axle/rod of the armature,it might be loosen.If your skilsaw is genuine and branded,you can buy it for areplacement of the said bearings & half moon.
you can check the brush too,becoz when it was over used the brushes are surely shortened and not equally grined..and if that so,an uncomfortable sound or noise will hear from it.

Manual for Skil Saw model 77 type 17

I have a Skilsaw model 77 type 16. I have the original owners manual and would be willing to fax you a copy.
The manual only lists a part number for the gear oil, it is No. 249. This is for a 5-3/8 oz tube of gear oil. I checked with my local hardware store which services this saw and they called a factory rep. They told the hardware store with shipping and handling it would cost about $17 for the oil! However they also said that a 90 weight gear oil is close enough to solve the problem.
Hope this helps.
