Fixing Your Broken Jig Saw: A Step-by-step Guide

This jig saw belongs to a friend of mine. I first thought it was a motor issue but when I opened it up I found a couple of parts that had come loose and some were broken off.
The replacement parts were ordered from a Makita dealer. I decided not to replace the bearings on the motor as the jig saw was not that old and they seemed to be in good condition.
After I had taken everything apart I cleaned all the greased parts with brake cleaner, which is very effective. The plastic shell was cleaned with washing soda and hot water. For the electronics I used IPA.
I then reassembled everything making sure to put grease on all moving parts.
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video!

Excellent work! So satisfying to see all that dirty grease cleaned out and replaced. It always blows my mind how many parts are in these tools. I am anxious about remembering how to put it back together, and I'm not even repairing it 😂

Haha I feel the same way watching you tear down a phone 😂 For this project the reassembly was almost 2 months after the I took it apart so good thing I had all the footage 😃 Thank for watching mate!

Eu também anseio em ver tanta peça escondida na graxa, depois de limpa-la coloca-la tudo de volta no lugar, se sou eu ia sobrar peça que daria para montar mais duas e, ainda sobraria peça para fazer um carrinho de controle remoto 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RestoredChannel]

Haha Se você conseguir peças, então você otimizou o design😂 Obrigado por assistir
