Assuming single phase, could be the start capacitor but it does not make sense unless there are separate capacitors for saw and J/P. Felder uses one set of start and run capacitors so I would assume so does Hammer. You can check the schematic to confirm. J/P is a harder load and if start cap was going bad it should perform worse on J/P than the saw unless you have a heavy dado installed on the saw.
Assuming single set of caps, I would look for a compromised connection between saw motor and start capacitor.

Hi Everyone
?
I have a C3-31 and in recent times when I push the start button the saw blade won¡¯t turn.? I generally grab my push stick or a scrap piece of wood and give the blade a flick and away it goes.
The jointer /thicknesser starts fine.
This problem only occurs occasionally .
?
Any tips appreciated.
Thank you
Regards Phil
