I have had to replace the switch Craftsman 10 Radial Arm Saw Owners Manual craftsman radial arm saw parts manual my Sears Craftsman radial arm saw several times. It is stock number The red rectangle is a label with my name. To be cautious about Internet security I made it illegible for this photo.

This Instructable applies to Sears radial arm saws that look like craftsman radial arm saw parts manual one The photo is from an earlier Instructable. This series of saws was made from the late 's through the early 's. My saw was made in I no longer have an original switch, but used a photo editing program to create the image of an original switch in place.

It had a red button to stop the saw and a green button to start the saw. The yellow arrow points to a keyhole for a stamped metal key used to lock the switch so the saw cannot be turned "on" accidentally. Metal tabs flank the green button to avoid accidentally bumping it and turning the saw "on" when not intended. The main reason I no longer use the original style switch is that it was no longer available through Sears parts depots just a few years after I purchased my saw.

In addition, these switches lasted about six years for me and at the time they cost more than twice as much as the Radio Shack pushbutton switch I used to replace the original design.

I am now on my 2nd switch from Radio Shack. The first one lasted 26 years for me! Whenever using a substitute electrical component check to know the voltage and current ratings you need to match.

The motor on my saw has a plate that covers the top of the motor. Under this cover is a junction box where wires can be reconnected so the motor runs on volts or volts. Since I live in the USA, our usual current outlets supply volts. I use my saw with volt power. This plate also gives the current ratings. My saw draws 10 amperes of current at volts, or 5 amperes at volts. The switch I got at Radio Shack is rated at 10 amperes for volts, or 6 amperes at volts.

The Radio Shack switch is a good match. In order to find a place where I could mount the new switch, I had to turn the casting that holds the switch end for end. Then the body of the new switch had to fit into the hole in the cast craftsman radial arm saw parts manual saw arm. One of the original screw holes for mounting the casting that holds the switches is shown by the blue arrow.

I had to move the casting back a little and make a new threaded hole as shown by the yellow arrow. An additional new hole had to be made for the other end of the casting, too. I made this hole between the original location for the green button and the keyhole. There really were no other places with enough space. See the photo in the Introduction. The original switch had four tabs for both black wires and both white wires.

The new Radio Shack craftsman radial arm saw parts manual has only two tabs. Fortunately, the tabs were the same size so I could simply slide the connectors on the black wires "hot" onto the new switch. I cut the old terminals from the white wires "neutral"stripped them, and connected them with a twist wire nut. It is a good idea to provide a lockout so the saw cannot be accidentally started. A wooden block with a hole craftsman radial arm saw parts manual fit over the switch button works very well.

Put it into your pocket when using the saw so you do not lose it. Or, tie a short string to the coiled power cord and to the wooden block. As always, your Instructable is very well done, Phil.

About the last step, I suggest you to do a little bigger the hole of the little wooden block, diameter of your craftsman radial arm saw parts manual, and then stick it the block, not the finger covering the start button.

Thus, in order to turn the saw, you need to deliberately introduce a finger into the hole to press the button, which is very hard to do unintentionally. I think this is safer than the removable locker.

Congratulations for the idea, I do not have occurred to me a so necessary safety arrangement. Reply 10 years ago on Introduction. Thank you, Osvaldo. I have been using this for more than 25 years without the safety lock. I simply was very careful to keep my hand away from the switch button, unless I wanted to turn the saw "on" or "off. But, craftsman radial arm saw parts manual you for the idea.

There are a lot of saws like this sitting in home workshops. It may be that someone has not used his saw very much. When his craftsman radial arm saw parts manual switch stops working, he will need some ideas about how to replace it.

This Instructable was designed to help in that situation. Do you know the comedian, W C Fields? He liked liquor, but not children. Once someone asked him how he liked children. He said, "Fried. I prefer the exposed switch for the exact reason that Phil gave.

If there is any problem what-so-ever it would be more likely for the slap of a hand on the top of the machine to turn it off rather than a dexterous finger poke.

The change I would make is to only have a cut out on one side of the wood block instead of providing access to the switch while it is resting in the "off" position. Small craftsman radial arm saw parts manual fingers tend to poke and pry at things they should not be. Thanks, photohippie. I'm talking from outside, without knowing well the subject. My excuse is that this is a very common attitude among the earthlings I remember once the saw blade bound up in a long piece of wood and pulled the motor down to a growl.

It was not that the saw presented a danger. I just wanted to cut the power to it as soon as possible. Craftsman radial arm saw parts manual does also have thermal overload protection.
