Craftsman Radial Arm Saw Motor Removal

I had the same problem. i first blew the motor out with compressed air while it was still
installed, it started up once then failed on the second try. I took
the motor off the saw,
and unscrewed the plastic housing and blew it out again, there was
hardly any particles
left but upon reassembly it started working as new. Minimal use on this
machine,
my father-in law had it for 15 years, said he used about 10 times; I've
used it for
four light bookcases, a bat house and a bed frame. Not a lot of built
up funk in the
motor, my guess is that these just need some attention TLC every 20
years or so.
What is that amperage rating of the circuit the saw is on.
I have a table saw that will marginally, to not run on a 15 amp circuit
but will always run on a 20 amp circuit.
Right now I have on 20 amp circuit in the garage in the ceiling for the
door opener. I hope to be able to correct that this summer.
