I don't understand the wiring here. I am adding a shadow line for the blade... because I can (not because I need it), it seems more effective than a laser.
Anyway here's what's going on.
Cord has black and white.
Black goes to switch which gangs yellow which goes back to the motor (not switched)
Red is switched from the black power lead and goes back to the motor.
White is crimped from power cord and goes directly to the motor.
So there are 3 wires going to the motor, and one of them (yellow) is HOT.
What is this doing? This is a universal motor. The miter saw is a CM10GD.
There's no problem here, I just don't understand why there is an unswitched hot going directly to the motor.
