If you can disconnect the capacitors, the motor won't start. However, it will run in either direction.
Taking care not to loose your fingers on the bandsaw, you might be able to use it by turning on and flicking / shoving it in the right direction.
That does depend on how much friction there is, as there will be very little motor torque at low speeds. Obviously you won't have any real load when starting.
If you can get to them, reverse either winding and leave the capacitor connected, it will run in reverse.
