Got a used 708 type 4 motor.  I just put it in the backup saw that I have and it seems to not be working. Is there a reset that I am missing on the motor? I did not realize that the original saw that I had was a type 3 and this motor is a type 4. Never the less, it mounted up all the same but there is no power to the motor. The switch I have is the original type 3 switch rated at 22A. The type 3 motor is 13A and the type 4 motor is 15A. Do you know is the switch specific to the motor? What do the 4 wires on the motor do?
