Bob,
I you want me to look into what could possibly activate the brake please share a copy of your ?schematic here or privately. At some time, the brake board design was updated where the brake board is connected to the normally closed auxiliary contacts of K1 relay. When I asked Felder tech if this is to ensure that braking occurs at proper time, he agreed. However, I am not sure if I should take it to the bank but that seemed like the most logical reason.

I was not operating it when this happened. Had been sitting for a few hours.
Wow, it appears that the brake was engaged/operating.
Did you by any chance start the saw and stop it and then restarted while the brake was still operating?
If not then, it is possible that the brake is coming on when it should not.

I've had this intermittent problem on my 2006 K700S? which I posted on here before where the saw won't turn on. Got some appreciated?advice about troubleshooting the switch. Wasn't able to find the problem. Note that I habitually?use ear protection.?
Yesterday I turned the saw on for a small cut and skipped the ears. Blade didn't spin up but I heard a low hum when I hit the on switch. Turned it off. Pushed the blade with a push stick.... it was hard to turn, but then it loosened. Hit the on switch, started up and ran great. Has happened again once since that first time.
Any?suggestions for troubleshooting? Problem with the brake not disengaging maybe?
