Open the motor case, and clean out the sawdust.

These motors have a centrifugal starter switch at one end.
The contacts pack with sawdust, and can't close.
Causes high-current draw during the start cycle.

( it was a regular maintenance job with my radial-arm saw )

I've had this table saw for at least 20 years. Lately, it's

check something else.

Thanks,

Dull or dirty blade?
