I have a Sears Model Number 113.197150 radial arm saw that is late
eighties/early nineties vintage. The blade jammed into a piece of wood
and now the motor hums, but does not spin when I turn it on. I have
replaced the capacitor, but no luck. I wanted to take the motor off
and have an electric motor shop take a look at it, but I can't figure
out how to disconnect the power cord from the arm. Do I need to take
the arm apart to get to the wire connections or do I try to take the
motor apart? I can't figure out how to take the arm apart to get to
the wires.

I did find the diagrams on the Sears website. No luck in showing how
to take the arm apart to get to the wires. I also did try to spin the
blade while starting with no luck. Allen says that I may have to take
the wires out from the motor side, but it's not obvious how to take it
apart. I think the arm would be a safer bet, but haven't found the
magic entry point to take it apart.

Are my posts not showing up?
