Turned my DWE6005 upside down yesterday while it was ON to trim a little of my door frame (so door shuts properly) which instantly made it cycle between ON and OFF very quickly for a few seconds.
Turned it off from wall and then back on but now every time I turn it on it spins on ULTRA fast, like on max speed setting plus 1. The speed setting wheel no longer works at all. Gets a little bit warm too but I don’t keep it on longer as it’s spinning so fast.
I’ve had it for 3 years and only used it for 15 mins 🙁 Any thoughts on caused this suddenly? It is fixable?
Don’t use a laminate trimmer to plane doors.use a planer, hand plane or battery. Most likely jambed it up.
