section of you hardware & buy a small can of 'Liquid Insulation' (or something like that) & coat the terminals. If it shorted out there, the switch should still be good. If I hold on to both handles, torque is no problem. I find the saw easier to control than any other I've used. When I went to get supplies to work on it, an electric motor tech said that the switches are usually dirty and the contacts worn. I appreciate the advice and will let you know if it's fixed.
