Dewalt d24000

[simmy08]

My bought in april Dewalt Wet saw today became a serious flippin hazard. I was about to cut a peice of Marble when i felt a shock go up my arm. At first i thought it was just static so i turned it off and on, stamped my feet away from any water (to get rid of any static lol) and touched the marble again with even more buzz this time.
I took out the pump (incase the waterproof housing had broken),switched it on and dreaded touch it again with the same level of shock as prveious.
I declared it faulty and had to pack up and go home.
Got on the phone to supplier,then Dewalt, then a workshop whom i have to take it to tomorrow to be checked over.
My question is, has anyone had this problem? was it repairable?

All i can say is, im glad now i got the 110v version.
Great peice of kit but i have only used it on 3 jobs.

I would do that anyway. I feel more comfortable using wet tools in 110v especially outside.

No boner IMO, if you have a 240v and need to go on site ( and you never know) You cant. Get a 110v and happy days.
