SMOKE COMMING FROM MOTOR?

My bench saw starts to smoke as soon as I put a piece of wood through, the smoke does not have a electrical burning smell to it but i strongly suspect it is comming from the motor, As i dont have a dust extracter attatched to it could saw dust be the cause also there is no sign of anything with burn marks the saw is Ppro

You've answered your own question NO EXTRACTOR,there will be a hose connector for a vacuum cleaner USE IT!read the instructions that came with it and follow them,or burn your house down.Even today 'THINGS' don't just 'WORK' you have to put some effort in,also if it smokes straightaway have you checked that the blade is DEAD SQUARE with the fence!Bet you haven't!
