Nope saw On but since you are checking the continuity of the cord end it
isn't plugged into a power source. Continuity of the saw only.

Ah. "Saw unplugged" is a significant point, and an entirely different

Well maybe when you unplugged it the connection to the prong that plugs

Yikes. I don't want to get all semantical here, but someone reading
that could toast their meter. Check for continuity with the saw OFF.
Check the voltage with the saw ON.
