If your Craftsman Saw motor does not start, check the following: * Replace the limit switch, as a failure here could be the cause. * Replace the brushes if they are worn. * Verify that there is electrical power at the outlet, as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker could be the issue.
Why does my Craftsman CMXEMAR120 blade bind, jam, or burn wood?
If the Craftsman Saw blade binds, jams, or burns wood, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure you are operating the saw correctly. Second, the blade might be dull or warped, requiring replacement or sharpening. Third, check that you're using the correct blade size, replacing it with a 10 inch (254 mm) diameter blade if necessary. Finally, make sure the wood is not moving during the cut by using a hold-down clamp to secure the workpiece to the table.
Why does my Craftsman CMXEMAR120 vibrate or shake?
If your Craftsman Saw vibrates or shakes, the issue might stem from a damaged or loose saw blade. Try replacing the blade. Also, check the arbor bolt and ensure it is properly tightened.
What to do if the brake on my Craftsman CMXEMAR120 Saw doesn't stop the blade in time?
If the brake on your Craftsman Saw doesn't stop the blade within 10 seconds, here are a few things to check: * Inspect, clean, or replace the motor brushes if they are sticking. * Ensure you're using a recommended blade and allow the motor brake to cool down if it has overheated due to a defective blade or rapid cycling. * Retighten the arbor bolt if it's loose. * Replace the brushes if they are cracked or damaged.
What to do if the cutting arm on my Craftsman CMXEMAR120 won't fully raise?
If the cutting arm on your Craftsman Saw will not fully raise, or the blade guard won’t fully close, clean and lubricate the moving parts to remove any sawdust build-up.
