Bought at garage sale. Plugged it in and it acts at though it is bogged

be broken off the on/off switch

See "runs backwards" and "motor hums" section starting on Pg 6.
There's a relay in there, that probably has fried contacts.

Amazing how much saw-dust gets in the switches of such saws , until breaking
contact, probably the same for relays
