Re: Ryobi BTS21 Table Saw The saw was quick-stopped by jammed material and now makes a rubbing noise when turned by hand. I see nothing externally and want to remove the motor and arbor for examination. How do I remove the motor and arbor? Is a repair manual available?

check blade shaft side to side then in line out an in any thing feel to lose check bearings

Here is copy of the IPL for the saw.

There's a normal adjustment process of squaring the blade to the table, page 19 of your manual. If the blade is not square to the table then it will bind. Here's the link for the manual, see page 19.

there is a pin that you have to pull out

Check nameplate on motor for amp draw, and then check that against your breaker and wire size.

If table saw worked on the breakers before and suddenly stopped working, then see if you can lubricate motor bearings >> look for oil cap on each end of motor and use 3-in-1 oil.
Clean the saw and make sure there's nothing rubbing against drive belt and that saw blade rolls easily when saw is turned off.
