Dan Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 If you go here http://www.rbiwoodtools.com/WebsitePages/Scroll-Saw-Manuals.html they have a list of manuals based on your saw's serial number. They have a troubleshooting guide in the manual that may be a good place to start. Good luck. lawson56 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 There were some vintages of saws that had motor issues. But first, with power off try to get he motor to rotate. It might just be on a bad spot on the armature. See if there is a hole in the end of the motor where you can insert a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the armature. If not try to move the crankshaft and get it to rotate. If your saw has variable speed control that could also be a problem but can be repaired. Good luck. Let us know what you find and welcome to the Village! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBob Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 I had to replace the switch on mine. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 My first Hawk did the same thing.. but worked fine for 4 years after and probably still working for the new owner.. I just took the cover off the control box and blew some compressed air around.. there was a fair amount of dust that made its way inside that box on mine.. might try that..
