well I was blowing the dust out of my shop and blew the dust off the saw and made it nice and clean but in the process I must have got a little too forceful. I have a big air compressor.
anyway the wires that connect to the variable speed or the switch got loosened up. Sheila sent me the specs to show where everything is. I tried jiggling and poking around, but, Since I am mostly one handed I called an electrian friend and I told him what Sheila said to do. He tested everything with his meters and everything was fine. He unplugged and plugged the wires and it started working. Long story short (too late) take the switch cover off, unplug and replug the wires.
