Has it had a lot of use?
Typical problems are the switch failing, carbon brushes worn or the cable getting tired when it flexes going into the machine. If there wasn't smell of burning though, an economical repair isn't likely.
To test the switch, you'll need to dismantle the machine and use a multimeter, the brushes may be accessible under two plastic screws on the machine body ( the brushes need to be a few millimetres long ), if you suspect the cable, hold the switch in the on position, and waggle the cable near to the machine.

Thank you John and Dave 54.
I have taken the jigsaw apart as I did so a tiny metal fragment fell out and a broken brush ! I have re assembled and it is now working. I will have to order some new brushes but so far all OK. As for the tiny metal fragment I could not locate its origins.
Thank you both for replying.

Quite possibly its from the brush assembly itself.....the carbon connects to a small round cap by a flexible lead, enclosing a spring too. The round cap does tend to fracture on occasion.

Just have a look at www.drapertools-online.com and you may recognise the part - a difficult one though!
