    Why my Craftsman 137.415020 Saw will not start?
    • D
      Donald McdonaldAug 13, 2025
      Your Craftsman Saw might not be starting due to several reasons: it may not be plugged in, so ensure it is properly connected. The fuse might be blown, or the circuit breaker tripped, in which case, replace the fuse or reset the breaker. A damaged cord can also prevent starting, requiring a power cord replacement. Finally, debris in the on/off switch can be the culprit; remove the switch from the saw, separate it in half, and clean out any accumulated debris.

    What to do if material kicked back from blade of Craftsman 137.415020 Saw?
    • J
      Jeffrey PadillaAug 17, 2025
      If material kicks back from the blade of your Craftsman Saw, it could be due to several reasons. The rip fence might be out of adjustment, so align it with the miter gauge slot. The riving knife might not be aligned with the blade, so ensure proper alignment. Avoid feeding stock without the rip fence; install and use it. Also, make sure the riving knife is in place. A dull blade can cause kickback, so replace it if necessary. Ensure you are pushing material all the way past the saw blade before releasing it. Finally, check that the miter angle lock knob is tight.

      If your Craftsman Saw is making unsatisfactory cuts, consider these possible causes: The blade may be dull, so replace it. Ensure the blade isn't mounted backwards; if it is, turn it around. Gum or pitch on the blade can also affect cut quality; remove the blade and clean it with turpentine and coarse steel wool. The blade may be incorrect for the work being done, so change the blade. Gum or pitch on the table can cause erratic feed, so clean the table with turpentine and steel wool.

    Why does my Craftsman 137.415020 vibrate excessively?
    • D
      Deborah Walters DDSAug 25, 2025
      Excessive vibration in your Craftsman Saw can stem from a few issues. First, check if the saw is securely mounted to the workbench and tighten all mounting hardware. An uneven floor beneath the bench can also cause vibration, so reposition the bench on a flat, level surface. Lastly, a damaged saw blade can lead to vibration, so consider replacing the blade.

    What to do if material pinches blade when ripping with Craftsman Saw?
    • L
      Lisa WatsonAug 28, 2025
      If the material pinches the blade when ripping with your Craftsman Saw, it could be because the rip fence is not aligned with the blade; check and adjust it accordingly. Alternatively, the wood you're using might be warped, with an edge that isn't straight against the fence; in this case, select another piece of wood.

    • T
      Tyler JohnsonSep 1, 2025
      If the material binds on the riving knife of your Craftsman Saw, it is likely that the riving knife is not aligned correctly with the blade. Check and align the riving knife with the blade.

    Why blade of Craftsman 137.415020 does not raise or tilt freely?
    • B
      Brian RuizSep 5, 2025
      If the blade on your Craftsman Saw does not raise or tilt freely, it is likely due to sawdust and dirt in the elevation/tilting mechanisms. Brush or blow out any loose dust and dirt.

    Why my Craftsman Saw blade does not come up to speed?
    • L
      Laura LewisSep 8, 2025
      Your Craftsman Saw blade might not be reaching full speed, or the reset trips too easily, because the extension cord may be too light or too long; replace it with an adequate size cord. It could also be due to low house voltage, in that case contact your electric company.
