To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if my Craftsman Saw motor does not start?
If your Craftsman Saw motor doesn't start, the issue could stem from a limit switch failure, requiring you to replace the limit switch. Another possibility is a worn brush, which should be replaced, referring to the MAINTENANCE section. Also, check if a fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped on your home panel, and verify there is electrical power at the outlet.
Why does my Craftsman Saw blade bind, jam, or burn wood?
If the Craftsman Saw blade binds, jams, or burns wood, it could be due to improper operation. Refer to the BASIC SAW OPERATION section for guidance. It may also be caused by a dull or warped blade, in which case you should replace or sharpen it. Ensure you are using the correct blade size; replace it with a 7-1/4 inch diameter blade if necessary. Lastly, make sure the wood isn't moving during the cut; use a clamp to secure the workpiece to the fence unit and table.
Why does my Craftsman Saw vibrate or shake?
If your Craftsman Saw vibrates or shakes, it may be due to a damaged or loose saw blade. Replace the blade to resolve this. Another potential cause is a loose arbor bolt; make sure to tighten it.
Why doesn't the brake on my Craftsman Saw stop the blade within 10 seconds?
If the Craftsman Saw brake doesn't stop the blade within 10 seconds, it could be due to motor brushes that are not sealed or are lightly sticking; inspect, clean, or replace the brushes, consulting the MAINTENANCE section. Another cause might be an overheated motor brake from using a defective or wrong-size blade or rapid on/off cycling; use a recommended blade and allow the saw to cool down, referring to the REMOVING OR INSTALLING THE BLADE section. Ensure the arbor bolt is not loose by retightening it, as described in the REMOVING OR INSTALLING THE BLADE section. Cracked or damaged brushes should also be replaced.
Why is the angle of cut not accurate on my Craftsman Saw?
If the angle of cut isn't accurate on your Craftsman Saw and you can't adjust the miter, ensure the miter table is locked, referring to the OPERATION - MITER ANGLE ADJUSTMENT section. Also, check for sawdust under the table and vacuum or blow it out, wearing eye protection.
Why does the brush spark when the switch is released on my Craftsman 137.322850?
If the brush sparks when the switch is released on your Craftsman Saw, it means that the brush is worn and you should replace it, refer to the MAINTENANCE section.
