What to do if the motor on my Craftsman Saw does not start?
If the motor on your Craftsman Saw isn't starting, it could be due to a limit switch failure, a worn brush, or a blown fuse/tripped circuit breaker. Try replacing the limit switch or the brushes. Also, verify that there is electrical power at the outlet.
Why does the blade on my Craftsman Saw bind, jam, or burn the wood?
The blade might be binding, jamming, or burning wood due to several reasons. It could be due to improper operation, a dull or warped blade, using the wrong size blade, or the wood moving during the cut. To resolve this, ensure you are operating the saw correctly, replace or sharpen the blade, use a 12-inch diameter blade, and secure the workpiece to the table with a hold-down clamp.
Why does the brake on my Craftsman Professional 137.212210 Saw not stop the blade within 10 seconds?
If the brake isn't stopping the blade within 10 seconds, it could be due to motor brushes not being sealed or lightly sticking, an overheated motor brake, a loose arbor bolt or damaged brushes. You can inspect, clean, or replace the brushes, use a recommended blade and let the saw cool down, or retighten the arbor bolt. If the brushes are cracked or damaged, replace them.
How to fix a Craftsman Professional 137.212210 that vibrates or shakes?
If your Craftsman Saw is vibrating or shaking, it might be due to a blade that isn't round, is damaged, or is loose, or the arbor bolt might be loose. Try replacing the blade or tightening the arbor bolt.
Why is the angle of cut not accurate on my Craftsman Saw and I cannot adjust the miter?
If the angle of cut isn't accurate and you can't adjust the miter, it might be because the miter table is unlocked or there's sawdust under the table. Make sure the miter table is locked. Vacuum or blow out any dust, while wearing eye protection.
What to do if the cutting arm on my Craftsman Professional 137.212210 will not fully raise, or the blade guard won’t fully close?
If the cutting arm won't fully raise or the blade guard won't fully close, it could be due to the pivot spring not being replaced properly after service, or sawdust build-up. Try cleaning and lubricating the moving parts.
Why do the brushes spark when the switch is released on my Craftsman Professional 137.212210 Saw?
If the brushes spark when the switch is released, it could be because the brush is worn. Try replacing the brushes.
