scrollsaw problem

[bluecollar]

i have a scrollsaw with speed control, the problem is that when Im using it always stop, so I will turn the power switch on again it will run again but after a few seconds it stop working again. i think there is a problem in the electronic speed control. What should I do? Is there anyone who encountered the same problem, hope you can help me.TIA

it would be nice to know the make and model of the scrollsaw in question. generally though it could be caused by dust build up inside the switch/speed control that can be cured by using compressed air to clean it with. I have a makita SJ401 and from where I sit, I can see that the switch for the speed control is in a place that seales the switching unit or not exposed to dust. Check also your plug socket, a loose could be traced to that as well.
