How to stop my chop saw blowing the plug fuse?

My ten inch rebar chop (mitre) saw keeps blowing the plug fuse when I pull the trigger.

The flippant answer is to find out the cause of the over current and replace the part that's causing it.

You will need a multimeter set to ohms and use it to look for a short circuit. There's not many things it could be - the motor - the start / run capacitor if there is one - the on/off switch - the plug and cable - and if there's a laser eye then that too might be the culprit.

Happy searching...

Good Luck...
