I would pull the brushes and see if they are worn out. Bad brushes would cause a lot of sparking.

If the motor started sparking a lot and caused the breaker to pop the solution isn't likely to be replacing the switch, the problem is in the motor.
You don't need a wiring diagram to replace the switch, a wiring diagram quite possibly doesn't even exist being the wiring is so simple on these machines, and it might not tell you anything useful anyway. When you remove the old switch just move the wires to the new switch in the same positions.
