start up

[Bill]

When I turn on the switch, the saw just hums. If I open the side door and start the blade going first then it will go. It was working great until just today, then it started this.

[David]

Mine does the same thing, how do I fix it?

[UtahAV]

That sounds like either a bad starter winding in the motor or a bad starter capacitor. A motor shop could check the motor for you. If it has a capacitor and it is bad the motor shop can likely fix it. If it is in the windings the motor will need to be replaced. The motor is part #900984000.

I hope this helps!
