Not having a $5 module installed by default is a shame for DeWalt.
I am not sure why I was stressing about doing this upgrade, but it was super easy. It works very very well. I appreciate your posting this solution. Very well-done tip.
if you are in the U.S.A., could you please provide the make model and part number or where you purchased it and what exact part number or description to look for ?
thank you
@@ginoasci2876 Amazon has a complete softstart kit.
I used the item numbers as identified in the video. I found that the module was listed for sale on Amazon (Germany). It took about a week to arrive, but installed painlessly. I had never used Amazon (Germany) to purchase anything, but it was easy to do. I could not find the part anywhere else, but an appropriate soft start module shouldn't be too hard to source. Hope that helps.@@ginoasci2876
I have been using my DWE7491rs for over 2 yrs all the while bitching about the hard starts. Had no idea I could add a soft start module. Amazing! I did add a 1' x 3" x 36" aluminum box extrusion to the fence which drastically helps the lead in and out of the cut on this saw. Awesome tip, great video that should be included in the manuals...lol!
Thank you, will try this for my water pump which also has a violent start 🙂
I added the soft-starter and its worked flawlessly and is a great addition - thanks!
Thanks for the clear instructions and guide. It was very helpful. I installed in on my DW7492 and worked perfectly.
Couldn't be more clearly explained
Thanks for the clear instructions! I've just installed a similar unit in my saw, and had no trouble following this guide.
Excellent ! I just followed your tutorial and it perfectly works on my 7485, thx !
Brilliant, dude! Fantastic work! 😃
I'm going to look for one of those!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you for putting in the work to post this! Very Useful!
Very clear explanation, tried it today and works like a charm. Very happy with the result !
what and where did you buy it ?
Thank You For this video, just installed module. Works like a charm
Dear internet stranger. I don't know why I trusted some random guy on RUclips with my very expensive machine. But I thought, hey it's 3 wires. How hard can it be? My hands were a little sweaty when I pushed the start button. But oh boy, this worked like a dream. Life is about taking risks. Thanks.
I bought a Dewalt DWE7491RS,the switch is the same,I checked the part number to be sure and they are identical but the wiring and colors are not.Since the switch and motor are the same,just connect the soft mudule as explaned.For my part I used Hitachi 371468 Soft Start C10Rj without any issues.I'm glad!
Easy to follow instructions, thanks for the video!
Well I didn't even know you could do this. So bought one off eBay, fitted it at the weekend and it works! Nice one.
Do you still have the seller's link by any chance? And are you in the US? Not finding any myself, not sure what I'm missing.
@@daneyuleb correction c10rj
really well done video. Right to the point. Thanks!
This is for sure the best tutorial on youtube to bad the KR230-16A lodule has these a b c’s in a different order
Well that does it that gets rid my last issue with my Bosch jobsite. As I understand it this will work with any 15A tool. Looks like I'll be sticking with it for a while longer. Thanks.
Such clear instructions and video. Great Job
I neeeed this for another brand of saw ... actually two I have that'd be instantly so much better with this mod !! Thank you so much for his excellent tip !
The best instruction of all video's. Just simple and good to see. It's working perfectly on my Skill tablesaw. But it was difficult to fit de slowstart modul in de box. Maybe the electricity box of a Skill tablesaw is a little bit smaller then a Dewalt.
Thanks for this, really helpful and well presented. I have that exact module and saw, so I'll be doing this in the week.
I did it and it worked a charm, thanks. NO fuses blown on a 13amp circuit in UK.
what and where did you buy it ?
@@Drokkstar_: what and where did you buy it ?
Thanks, i am going to build it tomorrow just like you showed.
My module was marked different than your module but i just copied the colours of the wires and it worked a treat many thanks🤘
I might have a newer version of the saw, it has screws on the front and they have made the cover smaller so it cant fit the soft start unit inside the box. i made slots on the side for the wires and installed the ss unit outside the box. Thanks for providing a detailed guide, it got me to do this mod.
Thank you very much....greetings and Happy new year🎉🎉🎉
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing sir.
This is a must-have - I just installed it and my saw is not jumping around anymore.
what and where did you buy it ?
thanks a lot, I succeeded thanks to your video ❤
I like it! Thanks for sharing.
Wow this is amazing, will this work on my DeWalt 12-in miter saw? That thing jerks like crazy when I hit the trigger. I would like to put this on my table saw and my miter saw.
short and clear, thanks
Great video!!
Prezado, eu tenho uma DW745, gostei da sua ideia, você também saberia me informar, o que é instalado para a máquina parar mais rápido quando desliga, igual a esse modelo que adicionou o sistema de partida suave?
Muito obrigado e um forte abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Excellent tuto d'installation du soft start sur la scie Dewalt
Merci pour ce partage très utile 😊😉
Salut Jean j'ai vu que tu étais aussi sur une vidéo française pour le même type d'installation du softstart alors quelle installation faut il prendre? il y en a pas mal de vidéo avec des schémas différents un casse tête

Ce sera plus facile pour discuter et te transférer des photos du plan de montage 😉
@@jean-lucmarquette4503 salut Jean Luc je l'ai raccordé il y'a quelques jours super merci quand même de m'avoir répondu
@@julienwanecque115 Alors tout est parfait ! 😊
Thanks for all those info and details. Do you think it will work on model DWE7480 10" portable saw table saw as well?
Do you think this could be used for other equipment?
If so how would you wire it?
Eg for Audio power amplifier in 240V 10A circuit (Australia) - 2400W maximum input.
Would you have Wire C connect to Load, B to the incoming Active/Live, and A ?
@welldonetips does it works on normal AC single phase motor or Air condition compressor ?
Done! Thanks a lot !
Would this likely work for other mitre saws also?
Is it possible to install the module in a external box with a power socket so i can simply connect my table saw to it, without installing it on the machine?
Will this work even on bigger saw like Laguna fusion 3? I hate that hard start on it
Hi, connection of my new Dewalt DWE7491 is different the Blue wire is connected to Number 13 and the Brown wire is connected to 33 so which one i need to follow? thank you
Thanks a lot, this helps me calming my t.saw for just PhP130 ($2) Awesome
Hola... Realice lo mismo con mi mesa dewalt y el aparato lo adquirí en Amazon Alemania.. El resultado es genial..
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱👌
¿Me podría decir por favor si su mesa todavía sigue funcionando sin problemas después de haberle hecho esta modificación? Gracias
@@ISKLEMMI hola si la mesa funciona sin problemas...
Speak English
@@tamaszlav It was installed and runs smoothly until today's sun...
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
I've ordred the XS-12/D3. Will that work too?
Thank you!!)
could you please put a light on your wires coming from the motor.
it looks like there are wires doubled up there. my swig h is clean with only one wire on each terminal.
Can you share the link to the motor soft starter module?
I have dewalt 7492, but i cant start it, because when i try to start it my fuses goes out. I have been using festool and bosch and thous worked good, no fuses goes out.
Can anyone tell me what size spades were used here? please.
I have sourced a module! Do you have links to the connectors and cables used?
Thanks!
Will this work on DW745?
These are must for a off grid work shop, the hard starts are very hard on inverters, I've blown 1 inverter thanks to table saws, but with the soft starts there are no more blown inverters
Arthur do you think this module would be useful for other 240V/10 equipment that would benefit from soft start such as a power amplifier with SMPS?
Good sir
I was really surprised how much cutting power (and torque) this saw had out of the box. I've used other (10" saws) previously and was pretty surprised with the speed and cutting ability of this Dewalt saw.I have bolted mine to a table to minimize movement which I highly recommend.This is a Great saw ruclips.net/user/postUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe with a light to see your cutting line (not a laser line).I'd recommend this saw fro anyone looking to upgrade from a 10" miter saw.
Is XS-12/D3 suitable for DeWalt Table Saw DWE7492?
Thanks for the clear explanation i am gonna do that. Its very scary start dewalt saw.
Seems great. Does this cause the saw to generate a lower peak load on the power grid? (Prevents the fuse to blow?)
A soft start mechanism applies voltage in a gradual way, hence "soft start". Flipping a simple on/off power switch allows the motor to draw huge amounts of power at startup, which can lead to tripping breakers/circuits due to this peak draw(short but massive). Analogy: think of comparing drag racing vs a slower but gradual acceleration to the same peak speed. This slower acceleration method puts less strain on the motor and components than punching the gas pedal when drag racing. The internal components on these jobsite saws are NOT designed for maximum tool life, but to do a job for a particular length of time. Some of us(likely you as well, seeing you're here) are interested in maximizing the lifespan of a tool purchase, so adding one of these modules can assist in extending that tools lifespan.
Does this reduce the peak current on start up of the motor? That would help with powering this by solar panels, batteries, and inverters.
Yes
Yes, and this is exactly why I need this on remote job sites using power tools with generators!
Bosing is that the same switch to Makita tablesaw mlt100
Do you know what is actually inside this module and how it works?
anyone got a link to where I can buy all this ?
Отличная работа! Скажите пожалуйста какой размер: "штекерных клемм", Вы ставили в выключатель? Спасибо.
Good
Install-connect a soft start and shutdown (sparks fly like fireworks on the day of the holiday-electric motor area) of the dynamic brake on the table saw DeWALT DWE7492, DeWALT DWE7485
What do you think the brake shortens the life of the engine ?? Should it be done?
If not, can you share your reasoning?
Hello i would like to know what is the small yellow box inside the switch, mine got fried while i was using it…. (I hope its just a lemon unit) tho ive been using my saw for almost 3 years now….
Excellent video! Helped me install my soft start this evening. I have a 7491. Very simple. Took me a bought 15 to 20 minutes.
Just for fun, if wire C connected to the brown wire of the motor, and wire B to terminal 13 of the switch, and then wire A connected to the brown wire of the motor and terminal 33 of the switch, it would work the same.
can i install it on110v version?

Hi I really want to do this but I can't find the splitter component you use anywhere? I'm based in the UK, I imagine it's a common component I just don't know what to search for.
You make it yourself ; from a couple of wires and spade connectors.
The wires on the soft-starter module appear to be a bit thin for that much current. Do you know what guage wires they are?
A 1.5mm wire is rated for 14amp (conservative figure), a 3000w motor draws about 13amp, don't know what motor is fitted to this table saw but doubt anywhere near 3000w.
@@royster3345I was thinking about the soft-starter module. It is rated for 16 amp on Aliexpress. 14ga wire is only rated for 15amps continuously, so the device would require 12ga wire to allow for the 16 amp device rsting. 12ga wire has a 2.62mm diameter and those wires do not appear to be 12ga wires, which means it is not manufactured to match its advertised rating which means it is unsafe even if that particular saw won't cause it to catch on fire.
During my first use of a Festool Circ Saw, I thought it was broken due to the soft start. lol
Would this help with an inverter that can't handle the start up load of a drop saw?
Pure sine wave inverter ✅
Yes I have that, its also a "8000w peak power" inverter but still overloads every time.@@ianmilleris
I always hated how table saws start like they do, your invention sounds great to me. I wonder if I can find that soft start thing on Amazon, trouble is, in the US we use 120 ac volt power.........
why in usa the price of Soft Start Starter XS-16/D3 JRR-01 Improved version of the XS-12 / D3 on ebay is $27+ $14 .99 shipping fee? in your area only 9 euro?
Don't worry about it. Most stuff is cheaper in the USA and a lot of really good stuff is only available there as it's made there by companies who have no interest in expanding overseas. 40 bucks is a small price to pay for that huge advantage. 😀
CAN I USE IN ANOTHER TABLE SAW, LIKE STANLEY OR MAKITA ??? ... PLEASE GIVE ME A LIGHT ABOUT THIS ... TKS !!!
... yes you can do the same on other table saws ... some table saws all ready have them in side ...
Phase Neutral are inverted
Where did you buy this soft start. And what type of male & female connector did you use.
is there a 3 phase variant?
... yes they make them for 3 phase "440 volts" also, up their in price 300$ and up for one ... but if it's a new 3 phase motor it might have one in it all ready all you need to do is wire it up ... look at the front part of the motor were the power goes in and on the sliver panel plate, if not unplug the motor and tack apart the power panel of the motor and see if you see a motor diagram ... it all depends on the years old and how much your paid for it ... some times you can get them bild in when you buy a new one ...
Will I lose my warranty if I connect a soft start module?
Yes and no.
Yes because Its a modification but a good one that will help the lifespan of the motor and possibly switch contacts long after the warranty has expired..
No because if you fit and remove it without leaving scratches/evidence marks, who at dewalt will ever know?
What size spades are these?
it's scalled FASTON , it looks like the the wider one ,dont know the exact size in mm atm
... they only come in 3 sizes in the USA in diffrent country's no clue usa is 2.8 mm, 4.8mm, and 6.3mm Female Spade Crimp .. he is useing the bigger one 6.3mm ... you can buy the hole kit on Amazon or another place for 10$ and up ... red ones are the smaller gauges wire size 24AWG through 10AWG... blue ones are 16-14 AWG,
yellow ones sizes of 18-12 awg gauge wire... (the ones he used have to be 6.33mm the biggest spade with the red 24AWG through 10 awg )... hope this helps you ...
@@GabrielKozsar ... I say 6.3mm spade ... in the USA they make 3 sizes the other 2 sizes are really not used that much ... unless you are working on small equipment and speakers ..
I also bought this but I am a little concerned. The cables running from the module are 0.75mm (so thin). The amp rating for 0.75 gauge cable is max 6amp. This will be running a table saw that uses well over 6 amp. I am going to see if I can replace the wires myself with at least 1.5mm ones. I am at al means no electrician, but have installed electric wiring before. As far as I know running heavier amps on such a thin cable can cause overheating of the wire and possible electric fire. I don’t want thatvin my shop. What do you think? Anyone here more knowledgeable about electricity that can give some feedback? Maybe I am exaggerating, but better safe then sorry!
Great point. That was also my concern and I was gonna write in comment.. ;)
My wires are on the other side. What do I do?
My wall wires and motor wires are interchanged meaning blue plug wire is on 33 and motor blue wire is on 34. Brown plug wire on 13 and brown motor wire on 14. Should I follow yours?
update: i just copied the connections on this vid and it worked
why not install this in a power strip instead, that way you can move it around to different devices if needed?
Because of the way the module works. Once it get power it ramps up the current in stages up to full power. If you put it in a cord or powerstrip it will go to max power and stay there as long as it's connected, unless you start and stop the machine by pulling the cord/strip and that is a fire hazard. In a powerstrip with on-off switch you could, I guess, but it could damage some equipment not suitable for unstable current. Also, switches like that are not made to safely disconnect heavy inductive loads like a tablesaw and might arc-weld itself.
@@Ajzer85 I mean put the soft start downstream of the switch inside the power strip itself. If the soft start is doing its job, it shouldn't arc weld when turning the device on, although I guess it might do it when trying to turn off.
Maybe the alternate would be to build it into a foot switch extension cord since those should be designed to switch full loads.
Insulate the blue one!
Hi everybody, any of you guys who installed this soft starter module have had issues after running the power tool during months or years? I am just concern with the quality of these cheap modules and how are going to behave after a thousands starts/stops. Anyway nice tip
Nice! Thanks! I tried to install soft start module for my DeWalt DWE7492-QS by using your manual and it works fantastically! 🤪👍
The biggest difficulty was to unplug connectors, they are plugged very tightly but after playing with this I managed to do this 🙂
Ive just sold my dewalt saw as its far to loud for home use
Done, thanks for the idea.

than you prove?
For everyone that received a soft start module with different arrangement of colours and letters, follow the wiring directions in the video for the letters, don't follow the colours.
I only have 4 wires on my saw. So damn.
Interesting but i cant find this under 100€ anywhere ather then aliexpress and i would never order any electicals from china
Dewalt table saws are rated at 20 amps. That module is insufficient amperage for a Dewalt table saw
No, this is a DWE7492 which is the European model using 230V. So 2,000w at 230v is only 8.7 amps. And even when using the US 120 volt, it is still only 16.6 amps, which should be fine.
In reality Dewalt is not concerned with supplying a TOP bench saw: -The internal dust insulation has been changed, even so the machine releases a lot of dust. - It's a noisy machine. - The consumer does not have the option to buy this machine at 127 volts. - No disc brake - Goniometer with clearance. - There is no flange size option, plastering the consumer to buy cutting discs of another size (should come shaft hole flanges of other disc sizes as an accessory). - The cutting edge is out of adjustment. - The angle adjustment knob is too hard as well as unreliable. - Does not fit 254 mm disc, only 250 mm. When starting and stopping the engine, strangely "spark". DISAPPOINTMENT! The industries, such as Bosch, Makita, Dewalt etc. it is the same disrespect towards the consumer. Adilson you're right! Enough of watching videos from RUclipsrs running their hands over the heads of the saw manufacturers just to beg and beg a shut up and in favor of GARBAGE!!!!!!! People who keep selling themselves to the manufacturers of saws and tools in exchange for "jabá". The reality is one, for tool manufacturers, we are considered third class consumers, not to mention the lack of safety and quality! We cannot and must not accept these equipment and tools without quality, safety and respect for others, it is the lack of maturity prevailing at the expense of reasonableness, common sense, ethics, safety and respect! We cannot accept that we Brazilians are treated as third-class consumers, denying us and making us have to consume products without quality. We don't have to accept what the manufacturers want to sell us and push down our throats, precarious, limited machines, which fall short of our needs. Today, the market has a lack and need for portable saws with better quality, as well as features and safety. This "little chat" and the justification of the industries that these machines are for construction sites only serves to relieve them of launching better saws. Year after year the so-called "releases" and or "new" do not have effective advances and improvements. It is the same as always, the accommodation of industries. What really changes is just price, always more expensive, without significant effective improvements for the consumer!
