A radial arm saw would not have an electric motor but a compressed air or a hydraulic motor. Everything hooked to a small diesel generated compressor.

Their goal is to use technology away from any power grid.
My cabinet maker has a diesel that has a shaft to the center of his shop and he wheels his shapers to the pto. The guys who make my wood flooring have a huge long shaft that run the length of their shop and they clutch onto it with several at once. At the end of the shaft, they have set up a sewing machine for their wives to make clothes.
