Hello all, I registered here to help solve an interesting appliance puzzle. I hope I'm in the right place.
I got a worx handheld saw second hand, and it wouldn't start. I took it apart and found there were unattached wires. I attached the wires and the electric motor makes an angry buzzing sound and heats up. I imagine there's two possibilities:
1. The motor is just broken
2. I've wired it up wrong, there are four wires coming from the motor. I've interpreted two as wanting to go via the switch. I may be wrong.
I've added a picture of the disassembled unit, and the wiring diagram of the unit. Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Olle
