  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
