Title: DW788 banging noise
Post by: gregwcoats on January 20, 2014, 09:35:48 pm
My Dewalt DW788 saw has started making a loud banging noise, I have tried to adjust the tensioning the tension rod but that did not do it. Any ideas?

  mine did this little over 2 yrs. ago. nothing i tried worked. i finally took it to a repair center. they replaced part #8-rocker assembly vertical-$56.98. it was
bent. total cost $116.00. they said it was a common problem with dewalt. they
also said not to pick up saw by upper arm as that could cause the rocker asy.
to bend. i am still pleased with my saw. termite
