You will need special skills for this guide! If you haven't already familiarized yourself with wiring and soldering, check Strip wire and Solder and desolder connections first!
This guide is for a Porter-Cable 20V Oscillating Multi-Tool with the model number: PCC710B. This guide will help you replace the motor of the tool.
The motor is the power producer of the tool. A damaged motor can cause the oscillating tool not to turn on.
If you are having issues with the power and turning on your tool, there could be a problem with the switch actuator. The power issue could may be a dirt and debris build-up. You can find fixes to both of these issues here.
Warnings
- We recommend working in a well-ventilated area. A small fan near your workstation can help disperse the fumes from the soldering.
- You'll also be working with very hot metal so be mindful of letting your work cool down before handling the tool parts!
- Before beginning this guide, make sure the battery of the tool is taken off, you do not want any power source connected to the device while working on this replacement!
