fix harbor freight table saw

My table saw one day stopped working. It had a "reset" switch I guess it was there if you pushed the saw too hard (it only did it's thing once) all of a sudden my saw wouldn't start. I thought about replacing the reset switch but I knew that might be hard to find the right part so instead I just hooked up the green ground and the black wires together and hooked up the white wires to a switch and now it works... it's not pretty but to take this saw somewhere to get it fixed would cost more than this cost originally.
