Craftsman Radial Arm Saw Model 113.29942

My dad gave me an old sears radial arm saw a couple of years ago so i could build some shelves in my family room.

Well I didn't get the handyman gene and I am not exactly a real repairman when it comes to tools like these, but the job was done.

The cutting board was old particle board and the blade is so loose it makes a cut about 3/8" wide and the plastic key that used to go in the on/off switch is gone and I think there is a nail in it to turn it on.

Any ideas about what I should be doing to get this old girl back on the shop floor? Apparently there is another project for shelving in another room.

Thanks in advance.
