sound like only one 120 leg is working to me also, grab the voltmeter and
check the outlet.. By the way, when you switched it to 220 did it perform
better? I have the 18" jet also, (still on 115v). Love the saw, just a
little underpowered. Just wondering if the switch to 220 would help with
this.

I never ran it on 115, switched to 220 before I plugged it in for the first
time. Like one of the posters, I run everything I can on 220. I don't expect
any real difference in tool power, but they do seem to start a little quicker
with less fuss.

The puzzle about a single 120 leg being blown is how the saw would run at all.
There is no neutral in the circuit, just a safety ground. Unless there is
something dangerously wrong with the saw wiring... Hmm, I better check it.
Thanks all,
