How To Run My Csb142lzk Saw

I just bought a circular saw model CSB142LZ and for some reason when I plug it in the blue light comes on, but when I pull in the switch button it does not start. Both the laser and the other light work so I know it has power, what am I missing to start the saw? Thanks,Patty

Like others who have posted at other sites, I also had/have this problem. I bought mine, but never even plugged it in for three years. When I did, the lights worked, but the saw did nothing else.

It is a bad trigger switch. The trigger should make a snap sound and feel when you pull it. Mine didn't.

One poster actually took the complex switch apart, cleaned the contacts, and had a terrible time trying to re-assemble it. When he did that, his saw worked - for a while, and then the trigger switch did the same thing again.

Other posters jut took the switch out of the saw and whacked it a couple of times. Ta da! The trigger pull got the snap back, and it worked. I used that method myself, and it also worked for me.

I do wonder how long it will be before the my trigger switch quits snapping again. It is not all that quick and easy enough to pull the switch out of the saw, so that you can give it a whack with enough momentum to free up the "snap".

Other than this one almost fatal flaw in the design of this tool, it's a nice saw when it works.
