Need help with Bosch Miter Saw

[Richard Wolf]

The electronic brake on my 5312, 12" slide compound miter saw, is not working. I have changed the brushes hoping that was the problem, but no luck. Any ideas?

I had the same problem with a Makita 1212LS last year. I replaced the switch and all was fine.

Thanks Ted, I'll pick up a new switch.

The switch might do it, but before changing any more parts, you may want to give Bosch a call. I'll bet they've seen this before. ;)
