Sounds like a shorted motor,or a dead spot on the armature. Try rotating the blade manually with no power first, then plug it in to see if it starts up. Don't let it hum for more than a second at a time, or it's sure to burn up the motor our trip the breaker.

eddie,Thank you for asking me to help you with your problem. However, this is either not within my level of expertise or the question is unclear or there is not enough information and I cannot help you at ths time.

There should be a data plate on the motor. Serial number should be there.

Most wet saws have a water tray below the table area. The blade moves thru this tray and gets cooled and lubricated by the water

Go to your local dealer.

The top of the blade spins toward you, but maybe you are asking which way the blade should go? If this is a tile saw, the teeth are tiny bits of diamond and will work in either direction. If this is blade with visible teeth, as for cutting wood, the points of the teeth should be toward you on the top of the blade. Good luck.

I heard that the rod that it rides on, may be bent. This is the rod, that you normally adjust, to get your straight cut, parallel to the blade. One mans solution was to turn the rods, so the bend of the rod, was vertical, rather than horizontal. You may want to look into ordering new , hopefully straight rods, from QEP too.

Most likely a failed rotor.
