Thank you for the advice. I do have the manual. However, could you give
me some hints as to what must be done? Maybe I can do it on my own. I
hate to wait on "eternal hold", and tech support lines are known for
this.

Thanks again, Lew.

Call DeWalt, they will walk you thru the fix.

Had the same problem.

You remove some parts and throw them away.

Hope you still have the manual.

Makes life easier.
