I have a Sears Model Number 113.197150 radial arm saw that is late eighties/early nineties vintage. The blade jammed into a piece of wood and now the motor hums, but does not spin when I turn it on. I have replaced the capacitor, but no luck. I wanted to take the motor off and have an electric motor shop take a look at it, but I can't figure out how to disconnect the power cord from the arm. Do I need to take the arm apart to get to the wire connections or do I try to take the motor apart? I can't figure out how to take the arm apart to get to the wires.
