Why won't my Skil BW9501-00 motor run?
The motor may not run due to a problem with the On/Off switch or power cord, damages motor, or the blade is binding. Have worn parts replaced before using the saw again. Do not attempt any motor repair yourself; have it repaired by a qualified service technician. If the blade is binding, remove the jammed material.
