Thought "Hmm, that sounded like an electrical pop. Looked around and didn't see the mystical blue smoke. OK. Keep on keeping on. Turn the saw on and when it is done, I hit the switch and got a handful of the mystical blue smoke. And a big flash. The switch on the saw went to hell in a most spectacular manner. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to get a switch. I needed to slow down a little any way.

Never good when the magic smoke escapes. Usually a relief when it's just a switch.

At least it was just a puff of smoke and not a fire.

Me: Switch says 15A and motor on the saw says 8A, should be fine...
Motor on saw: Hold my beer...
