Ryobi CSB125 Motor Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide will show you how to properly access the internals to the motor housing to your Ryobi CSB125 circular saw. If you hear a humming noise when pressing the trigger, or while operating the saw smoke forms, then most likely the motor has gone bad. This troubleshooting page will help diagnose any potential problems occurring due to a faulty motor. In the event that a new motor is needed, this guide will show the steps to properly install a new one. The only tools you will need are a #2 Phillips screwdriver, a 7”/32 allen key, and a T20 torx screwdriver.
