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.

You will then have to disassemble the arm. It looks as though that you
could take the cover off the arm. Look at the diagrams some more. From
what I can tell, it looks like 6-9 screws to get the cover off. It
looks like you will have to take the switch on the front of the arm
apart as well.

OK, I see the zoomed diagram. I'll take a closer look and figure out
how to open the arm up and get to the wiring. I'll let you all know
how I make out.
