If it's a direct drive it is most likely a brush type (more power and noisy), and could be slowed down with a rheostat, but remember when you slow a motor with a rheostat you also reduce the torque.
The safest way to test is with an incandescent light bulb in series with the main supply, the lower the wattage bulb you use, the slower the motor goes.

If it's a brush type you could use one of these. I have one and use it with a bench grinder and an ancient single-speed Dremel and it works well.

I did look around and could not find a exact picture of the saw however I did find a saw on grizzly tools that has one similar. This one does infact have a variable speed. If this motor looks like it would have brushes, then I will try the speed control that clrobert posted.
