Mastercraft miter saw 55-6884-0 manual
If you take it to an electrician, the issue may well be the suppressor capacitor, across the switch contact, will be short circuit.
Get it replaced with a suitable Class Y components and it will be working again. OR
thee switch is faulty. Replaceable by a commonly available spare part.
Being 15 years old, there is little hope of a spare parts manual but it is a very basic design and should be easily repaired by a competent engineer.
Trying to cut any size piece of wood the saw blows
Are you operating the saw on a 10 amp circuit or with a long extension cord? Table saws need at least a 15 amp circuit and should not be used with an extension cord. If absolutely necessary the extension cord should be no less than 12 guage. Tabel saws will run OK on a 10 amp circuit but as soon as you apply a load (try to cut wood) the power requirements go up to keep the saw turning. If you can, plug it into another outlet on a higher capacity circuit breaker or at least closer to the breaker box. If it still pops the breaker you may have bearing problems in the motor that are creating too much friction. This would make the motor work harder to turn so it would draw excessive power and trip the breaker.

Clean grease off terracotta tiles
There are a couple of things you could try. I recently came across a specific grout/tile cleaner that works well. You can buy it online. It is a type of cream that you spread over the grease and leave for a while. After it has set, you can use a toothbrush (for best results) to scrub off the soap and grease. Otherwise, you can try magic eraser. Those can be used on tiles and get off a lot. Tiles make up such a great aspect of the house, I hope you can clean them up.

Bosch table saw hard to raise and lower blade
The only solution is to remove the trunnions and threaded rod, thoroughly clean them and lubricate with a silicone based product. Clean these areas at the end of each use to extend the period between tear-downs (yes, you'll probably need to do it periodically). Also, once disassembled, clean and lubricate the guides on the motor mount.
I removed the motor altogether to make this task easier. I recommend cutting the power lead to it and installing a quick connect to avoid having to go through the trouble of disassembling the power switch. Good luck.
