Frequently Asked Questions (12)

  • How do you change the blade on a Craftsman 113.298032 table saw?

    To change the blade on your Craftsman 113.298032 table saw, follow these steps:

    1. Safety First: Turn the saw OFF and remove the plug from the power source outlet.
    2. Prepare for Removal: Raise the Blade Guard and then remove the insert.
    3. Loosen Arbor Nut: Place a wood block against the front of the blade and pull the arbor wrench towards you to loosen the arbor nut.
    4. Install New Blade: When installing a new blade, ensure the teeth are pointing toward the front of the saw and that the blade and collars are clean and free from burrs. The hollow side of the collar must be against the blade.
    5. Tighten Arbor Nut: To tighten the arbor nut, place a wood block against the rear of the blade and push the wrench away from you. Always tighten the arbor nut securely.
    6. Replace Insert: Place the insert into its opening, push it towards the rear of the saw to engage the spring clip, and ensure the keyslot aligns with the screw. Tighten the screw, but not to the point where it deflects the insert.

    For more information, see page 22 of the manual.

  • How do I adjust the blade height and bevel on my Craftsman 113.298032 table saw?

    To adjust the blade height and bevel on your Craftsman 113.298032 table saw, use the following handwheels and handles:

    • Blade Height Adjustment: Use the ELEVATION HANDWHEEL. Turning it clockwise elevates the blade, and turning it counterclockwise lowers the blade.
    • Blade Bevel Adjustment: Use the TILT HANDWHEEL to tilt the blade for bevel cutting. Turning it clockwise tilts the blade toward the left, and counterclockwise tilts it toward the right. When tilted fully to the left, the blade should be at 45 degrees to the table.
    • Tilt Lock: The TILT LOCK HANDLE locks the blade in the desired tilt position. To loosen it, turn counterclockwise. To tighten or loosen, push the handle in and turn it to another position if necessary. Ensure the handle is hanging in the "DOWN" position before tilting the blade to avoid jamming or bending the locking bolt.

    For more information, see page 21 of the manual.

  • How can I improve the fence on my Craftsman 113.298032 table saw?

    To improve the fence on your Craftsman 113.298032 table saw, specifically regarding its alignment and smooth operation, you can perform the following adjustments:

    • Aligning Rip Fence: The fence should slide easily along the bars and maintain alignment (parallel to the sawblade and miter gauge grooves). The alignment is maintained by a spring underneath the fence that bears against the front guide bar. To move the fence, loosen the lock handle and grasp the fence with one hand at the front.
    • Adjusting Spring Pressure: If the fence does not spring back to its original position when moved slightly to the right or left, the spring pressure needs to be increased. Loosen the screws and move the spring slightly toward the front of the fence. If the fence does not slide easily, the spring pressure can be reduced by loosening the screws and moving the spring slightly toward the rear of the fence.
    • Parallelism with Sawblade: The rip fence must be parallel with the sawblade and miter gauge grooves. If it is not, loosen the two Hex Head Screws, hold the fence head tightly against the bar, and move the end of the fence until it is parallel with the groove. Then, alternately tighten the screws.
    • Adjusting Rip Scale Indicator: Turn the ELEVATION HANDWHEEL clockwise until the blade is as high as it will go. Ensure the blade is square to the table. Position the fence 2 inches from the sides of the teeth and tighten the lock handle. Loosen the screw holding the indicator and adjust it to point to "2" on the rip scale, then tighten the screw. If the indicator cannot be adjusted, loosen the screws holding the front guide bar and move the guide bar.

    For more information, see pages 12, 13 and 14 of the manual.

  • How do I properly align the fence on my Craftsman 113.298032 table saw?

    To properly align the fence on your Craftsman 113.298032 table saw, follow these steps:

    1. Preparation: Raise the blade all the way up. Carefully move the fence against the blade.
    2. Initial Positioning: Move the front bar until the "0" mark on the rip scale is approximately in line with the indicator. Then, move the front bar upwards until the fence is approximately 1/32 inch above the table. You can use a folded piece of newspaper (8 thicknesses) between the rip fence and table as a spacer to achieve this height.
    3. Rear Bar Adjustment: Adjust the rear bar so the fence is approximately 1/32 inch above the table and is square with the fence guide bar rod. Tighten the screw at the end of the rear bar.
    4. Final Check: Move the fence to the RIGHT edge of the table and ensure it is approximately 1/32 inch above the table at both the front and rear. Then, tighten the screws.
    5. Parallelism to Sawblade: The rip fence must be parallel with the sawblade and miter gauge grooves. If it is not, loosen the two Hex Head Screws. Hold the fence head tightly against the bar and move the end of the fence until it is parallel with the groove. Alternately tighten the screws.
    6. Spreader Alignment: The spreader must always be parallel to the sawblade and in the middle of the cut (kerf) made by the sawblade. It is thinner than the width of the kerf by approximately six thicknesses of paper. To align the spreader, place the rip fence on the table, carefully move it against the blade so it is parallel and just touches the tips of the saw teeth, then tighten the rip fence lock knob handle. Insert the folded paper between the spreader and the fence, holding the spreader flat against the fence. Tighten the screws using a 7/16 inch wrench, then tighten the Hex Hd. Screws in the Support.

    For more information, see pages 12, 14 and 16 of the manual.

  • What should I do if my Craftsman 113.298032 table saw does not turn on?

    If your Craftsman 113.298032 table saw does not turn on, you should check the following:

    • Starting Switch: The starting switch in the motor may not be operating. The solution is to have the switch replaced and request a voltage check from the power company.
    • Motor Stalls: If the motor stalls, it could be due to the starting switch not operating, voltage being too low to permit the motor to reach operating speed, or fuses/circuit breakers not having sufficient capacity. The solutions are to have the switch replaced, request a voltage check from the power company, or install proper size fuses or circuit breakers.
    • Motor Overload: If the motor is overloaded, feed work slower into the blade. If it's due to improper cooling or sawdust accumulation, clean out sawdust to provide normal air circulation through the motor.
    • Low Voltage: If the motor starts slowly or fails to come up to full speed due to low voltage, request a voltage check from the power company.
    • Damaged Components: If the windings are burned out or open, or the starting relay is not operating, you should have the motor repaired or replaced or have the relay replaced.
    • Connections: If there are loose or broken connections, have the wiring checked and repaired.
    • Capacitor: If the capacitor is shorted (if equipped), have it tested and replaced if defective.

    For more information, see page 37 of the manual.
