Just rebuilt this saw. Electronics worked when purchased used in 2005. Now, with new battery, nothing on the display. Total of 4 encoders should be read/displayed. Any help on finding schematic etc. appreciated. Sears no longer has parts. Thanks!

Perhaps a model number would help.

PROBLEM SOLVED
Not used to the Type J 6v battery. After insertion you push slightly to one edge until it snaps in. EMBARRASSING !!!

All functions work! Thanks

The best sort of fix -- fix the operator!

Why does a radial arm saw have a display?
I own several of them saws and there is nothing that I could see that
needs to be displayed. I set the arm to whatever angle I need, which is
marked on the arm itself, and angle the blade if needed. Also labeled on
the adjuster knob.

I suppose if it's a variable speed (none of mine are), that may tell you
the speed, but who needs the speed to be that precise?
And why a battery? Once it's plugged in, the display should turn on.

Sears obsoletes their products so quickly these days, I'll never buy any
of their products again.... I dont doubt that Sears will soon close
their doors permanently. So much for their supposed "lifetime warranty"
on their Craftsman tools.
