: I'll be back...

Warned you....

I really need to get handier with the multimeter...

Testing for AC volts:

thru power supply cord - 121 VAC
thru switch CB assy - Switch off - 2.2VAC
Switch on - 22.0VAC

Prognosis - bad Switch/CB ???

Not a lot accessible to test

Three wires coming to switch (power cord Hot/black, Neutral/white,
Ground/green, simple blade type connections. black and white terminate at
switch, green to chassis.

Three wires leaving switch to motor (black, white, green)

Switch CB Assy - neutral passes thru CB, black thru switch.

CB never 'popped' - replies include 'resetting/recycling' CB, but how is
that possible if I can't get 'it' to pop ??

Both switch and CB appear to be sealed units, was a lot of sawdust
(surprised me) within the plastic housing (two screws to remove)...

It's getting dark, I'll read up on use of multimeter... 'checking continuity
/ checking for voltage' etc...

We can eliminate motor 'dead spot', I've spun the arbor by hand..
No motor hum with power on.
Abstained from compressed air, but have vacuumed.
No visible/tactile evidence of a reset button on the motor itself. This is a
fairly new unit (less than 2 years old)..

Plus - Free advice on the internet - isn't this a great place :-)
