Help!
I have a 20+ year old Craftsman Radial Arm Saw (model 113.199450), on
In case you haven't already gotten it, your model saw is eligible for a
repair kit from the website
http://www.radialarmsawrecall.com/
This has nothing to do with your motor problem, but if you end up fixing and
keeping the saw this kit might be useful to you.
From the website:
"WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Emerson Tool Co., of St. Louis, Mo., is recalling about
3.7 million CraftsmanŽ radial arm saws for repair. These radial arm saws
were sold without a guard that covers the entire blade. Consumers have come
into contact with the blade or have been hit by pieces of wood kicked back
by the saws, resulting in severe injuries.
CPSC and Emerson have received about 300 reports of injuries while using
these saws. Injuries include hand and finger amputations; lacerated hands,
arms and fingers; fractured hands and fingers; and facial injuries.
Emerson is offering a free repair kit that provides a complete blade guard.
Consumers should stop using their CraftsmanŽ radial arm saws immediately and
call Emerson Tool Co. to determine if their saw is recalled and to ensure
that they have proper safety and use instructions. Consumers should have the
model and serial numbers of their saw available when they call."
