I have a dcs7485 table saw. When I start it and take my finger off the start button, it stops. If I keep the button pressed in it will run as normal. Does anyone know if it’s a simple switch to change or something else… 

any advice would be very welcome.

Mine had been running good.  I have never had to change or mess around with the switch but I would assume that as along as you are holding the switch down and it’s running, it would probably be the switch.

when you take your finger off, are you making sure the red flap is not swinging down and hitting the stop button?
