Jig Saw

Why would a jig saw stop working? Craftsman model, now it only hums when you pull the trigger.?
Was working great and then lagged and stopped. The hum is all it does now. Any tool savvy people out there?
Thanks wwwstat. I got out my trusty screwdrivers and took it apart. In the front, there were two gears. The lower gear has 2 teeth broken off. The small gear from the armature was stuck in the space left by the two missing teeth. Isn't it GREAT to learn something? Too bad I can't fix it. Thanks to all of you for your answers!
the eccentric gear could be your problem.this is what drives the moving part of your jigsaw..if the motor part didnt smoke it is probably not burnt up....if it hums the brushes arent bad...the brushes are part of the circuit and if they were bad motor wouldnt hum...I would suggest you take the gear head apart and see if something has broke or come loose...
