Axminster TS-200 problem

[dog1967]

I appear to have broken my TS-200 table saw. I was feeding a longish length of 4x2 through it to rip it in half but stupidly had not got a push stick to hand so turned the machine off to get one but tried to restart it with the wood in the position I stopped at rather than feeding it through from the start The blade wouldn't turn and before I had the time to hit the button it just stopped. I'm a bit puzzled as I've burned out a few motors in my time and you certainly know that they are knackered as they smell really strong but this does not smell at all and never did. It just won't work.
Any clues??

This may be obvious, but have you blown a fuse? Either at the plug or on the main board.

Does the blade spin by hand?
Does the motor run? If not- fuse?

Normally they just stall and when the pressure is released the blade spins. I don't know about start capacitors but I would be looking for info about them next.

Not on the main board but I've not checked the plug. I thought I would hear a pop if something blew but I will check it out tomorrow. Hope it's that simple.

The blade turns by hand and the fuse is fine. The capacitor on my bandsaw blew but with that it was obvious as it popped and semi exploded. I don't even know where the capacitor is on the table saw.
More investigation needed I think.
