    SX3 Tripping RCD

    Hi All,

    I've been having a problem recently with my SX3, about 1 in 50 times when I flick the power switch on, it trips my houses RCD. It's never had any problems when it's running however. I have the habit of always switching off the power while doing a tool change, so this actually happens quite often, usually in the middle of a job so I end up losing my zero which is a major PITA. Anyone have any idea what might be the cause or solution?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I have had this problem in the past as well, it too appeared out of nowhere. I dont know the cause but my solution was to use the same outlet my dryer is plugged into, I have not had a circuit breaker pop since.
