Craftsman - Model 137.248830 - 3.0 HP

Not the best (by a long shot) But mine...

Used it today to rip and crosscut (with sled)... Finished up a
crosscut, turned the switch off. Once blade stopped spinning, removed
the work and the sled.

Unplugged from power supply to use the CMS... Went back a little
later, plugged the unit back into the power supply, flipped the
switch... Nothing. Test power supply, other tools run fine....

*#@*&....

RTFM - Three possible causes:

1. Saw not plugged in - Yes it is
2. Fuse Blown or CB tripped - Saw no mention in manual for fuse, CB
(Reset) still in depressed mode.
3. Cord damaged - Nothing visible, only exposed connections are
Grounds, all are secure, no other visible connections...

Is there a fuse, or simply the Circuit Breaker??

I'm puzzled, work stops... Any suggestions?

Switch clogged with sawdust, precluding connection? Power disconnect,
disassemble, blow out with compressed air, reassemble. Sometimes works,
and the price is right.

Or it could be something else. What does the digital multimeter tell
you? (These are relatively cheap diagnostic tools which should be in
everyone's kit.)

Good luck. Unless you wanted to buy a new saw anyway.
