Clean and lubricate the motor shaft and pulley-half. For a lubricant, I
would suggest something like paraffin or some kind of dry lube, so there is
less tendency to accumulate wood dust. If you can get it working without
disassembly, good. If you want to take it apart for a more thorough
cleaning, you need to take the clip off the end of the shaft (if it's like
my Jet 1236). Good idea to tie a string to the clip, so when it flies away
you can find it.
