Leeson Motor Question

I have a Nova 3000 with a Leeson 1HP DC motor. About 25% of the time, when I throw the power switch, there's a slight screech/clang noise (that's the best I can describe it) coming from the switch box (not the motor itself) and a slight delay before it starts turning. I imagine that something is about to fail and since I'm a wood guy and not a motor guy, I don't know what I should be doing. Any advice is appreciated.

Could be a relay in the switch box is hanging or being interfered with by dust or shavings. Would describe that as a chatter, though. Done a vacuum or dust-off in there yet?
