Dewalt 12" CMS w/ broken handle - fixable?

[radhak]

Local craigslist has this advt :

Dewalt 12" COMPOUND MITER SAW FRAMING BLADE INCLUDED. IT WORKS ALTHOUGH IT HAS A BROKEN HANDLE THAT CAN EASILY BE FIXED. $65.00

The pic seems to indicate it might be one of the older models, maybe the DW705S

The pic does not clearly show the broken handle, but FWIW, does anybody think this would be fixable with (maybe) Gorilla Glue or something? Does the handle have any wiring?

Does the handle have any wiring?

Every CMS I've ever seen had a trigger-style power switch in the handle so, yeah, there'll be wiring involved.

If it's just a simple broken plastic handle, you could probably get the replacement parts you'd need from DeWalt.

I would not risk glue for safety reasons,that saw has a strong spring on the arm and you could get hurt, hand could hit the blade as the guard raises when handle is depressed. Buy the parts,but you may find them expensive,the selling price seems right. The older DW's are made in US and better than the new Mexican made versions. I have a DW706.
