This same vibration could have broken the wire from fatigue, which is quite common. The machine's vibration may have loosened the terminal screws on the auxiliary contacts. The contacts themselves could be dirty or eroded. The problem, then, is the auxiliary (latch) contact. It also means the overload relay is not tripped. If holding the start button down makes the motor run, then the coil and the main contacts in the starter are working properly. If that's the case (which is typical for a 32 amp motor), then the push button switch is only controlling the coil for the starter. It sounds like the saw has a magnetic starter with separate pushbutton controls.
