Standard Hardware Item --- May Be Purchased Locally.
INSTALLING BLADES—IMPORTANT—Be sure cord is disconnected from power supply—(See Fig. 1) Remove blade screw (A), Key No. 33, (See Parts List, Page 3) with screw driver. Insert blade screw thru lower hole in saw blade shank and position notch around roll pin in blade clamp with cutting edge of blade toward saw bar. Tighten blade screw firmly.
NOTE: CRAFTSMAN SABRE SAW BLADES HAVE A UNIVERSAL SHANK THAT IS DESIGNED TO FIT ALL SABRE SAWS
CHIP SHIELD—IMPORTANT—Be sure power cord is disconnected from power supply. (See Fig. 2) The chip shield, Key No. 27, (See parts list, Page 3) attaches on the saw gear housing cover, Key No. 24. First remove plug buttons, Key No. 26 from saw. To mount chip shield, place pins (A) into screw holes (B). Push forward on chip shield to snap projections (C) into open end of bearings on saw gear housing cover. To remove, grasp the edges of the chip shield near the top and pull forward.
AUTO-SCROLL CUTTING—(See Figs. 3 & 4) YOUR AUTO-SCROL-LER SAW IS DESIGNED TO PERMIT 360° SWIVEL OF THE SAW BLADE EITHER BY ROTATING THE CONTOURED TOP SWIVEL KNOB FOR SCROLL CUTTING OR GUIDING THE DIRECTION OF THE CUT WITH APPLIED PRESSURE AT THE HANDLE FOR AUTO-SCROLL CUTTING. THE GUIDING AT THE HANDLE APPROACH LEAVES ONE HAND FREE TO CHANGE SPEEDS, HOLD MATERIAL BEING CUT SECURE, ETC. THE SCROLLING AND AUTO-SCROLLING FEATURE MAKES YOUR SAW IDEALLY SUITED FOR MAKING FANCY CUTS AND SCAL-LOPS WITH RADII AS SMALL AS 3/16 INCH. IT IS DESIGNED TO CUT IN CORNERS AND CLOSE PLACES WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ROTATING AND TURNING THE COMPLETE SAW (See Fig. 4), IT IS IDEAL FOR CUTTING ELECTRICAL OUTLET AND SWITCH BOX HOLES, SINK AND LAVATORY CUT-OUTS AND MANY OTHER USES.
The swivel knob is equipped with a sliding thumb operated lock for locking the knob in four (4) positions (90° apart). The white indicator mark on front of swivel knob indicates direction of blade cutting edge. For scroll cutting and auto-scroll cutting the slide lock must be in the rear (unlocked) position for free rotation of saw bar. Use sufficient forward pressure to permit blade to cut freely and follow the scribed line with gentle rotation of swivel knob or directional guidance at handle.
METAL CUTTING_Many kinds of metals can be cut with your saw. Be careful not to twist or bend the blader DO NOT FORCE. If the blade chatters or vibrates excessively, use a finer-tooth blade or higher speed. If blade heats excessively use lower speed. If blade teeth become filled or clogged when cutting soft metals, such as aluminum, use a coarser-tooth blade or lower speed. We recommend use of kerosene when cutting most soft metals and oil when cutting steel to keep blades cool, increase cutting action, and prolong blade life. Hold the work firmly and saw close to the holding point to eliminate any vibration of the work being cut. When cutting conduit, pipe or angle iron clamp work in a vise if possible and saw close to the vise. To cut thin sheet material "sandwich" the material between hard board or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and material tearing. In doing this,
the material will be cut smoothly. Lay out your pattern or line of cut on top of the "sandwich."
IMPORTANT—When cutting metal keep exposed portion of saw bar clean and free of metal chips by wiping frequently with an oily cloth. Use extreme caution in disposing of oily cloth after completion of job to prevent potential fire hazard.
LUBRICATION—All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions, therefore, no further lubrication is required.
GENERAL CUTTING—The angle of cut on your saw may be set at any point from 0° to 45° right or left. (See Fig. 5). Setting for required angle may be accomplished by loosening base pivot screw, Key No. 71, with hex socket wrench, Key No. 70, (See Parts List, Page 3), and adjusting base until index mark is in line with required angle on quadrant. Retighten base pivot screw.
NOTE: ANGLE CUTS MAY BE MADE ONLY WHEN WHITE INDICA-TOR MARK ON SWIVEL KNOB IS SET DIRECTLY IN FRONT OR BACK POSITION AND SCROLLER MECHANISM IS LOCKED.
For straight and miter cutting the slide lock must be in the locked position and the white indicator mark on swivel knob toward direction of cut. Rest the front of the base on the work and align cutting edge of blade with line on work. Move saw forward with a firm downward pressure on the base and with sufficient forward pressure to permit blade to cut freely. DO NOT FORCE. Be sure to keep base flat on work.
To make a straight cut, clamp a piece of wood or straight-edge on the work, and guide the edge of the saw against the straight-edge or use edge-guide provided. When cutting against a straight edge or board, cut in one direction only across the material, don't cut half way and continue cut from the opposite end. For best results, clamp work to bench.
NOTE: BECAUSE THE TAPERED BACK BLADE, CATALOG #2876, HAS NO SET IN THE TEETH, IT SHOULD NOT BE USED WHEN USING A BOARD TO GUIDE THE SAW.
Fig. 5 PLUNGE CUTTING—(See Fig. 6) To cut an inside hole in work, mark the line of cut clearly, rotate swivel knob into normal forward cutting position and slide lock into locked position. Choose a convenient starting point and place the tip of the blade over that point and inside the line on the waste. Rest curved end of base on work and hold firmly in position. Depress trigger switch, and with saw blade in motion, slowly tilt saw downward until tip of blade starts cutting work. After blade penetrates work, tilt saw until the blade is perpendicular to the work.
Use only 7-teeth per inch blade for plunge cutting.
SPLINTER-FREE ATTACHMENT (See Fig. 7) A splinter free attachment consisting of a Blade Guide, Key No. 74 (See Parts List, Page 3) two screws, Key No. 73, two washers, Key No. 75, and two nuts, Key No. 76, is supplied with your Craftsman Auto-Scroller Saw. This attachment allows making of smooth, splinter-free cuts in plywood with little or no sanding of the cut surface required.
IMPORTANT—Be sure power cord is disconnected from power supply. To assemble the splinter-free attachment rotate the swivel knob into normal forward cutting position and side lock into locked position. Attach the blade guide to the saw base making sure the saw blade is centered in the blade guide slot and not rubbing against blade guide.
IMPORTANT-USE ONLY THE TAPERED BACK 10-TEETH PER INCH SAW BLADE WITH THE SPLINTER-FREE ATTACHMENT.
YOUR SPLINTER-FREE ATTACHMENT IS DESIGNED PRIMARILY FOR STRAIGHT LINE CUTTING THEREFORE DO NOT ATTEMPT A CIRCULAR CUT WITH A RADIUS OF LESS THAN APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT—Periodically check the brushes for wear and replace both brushes when either is worn to about 1/4 inch in length. To check length of brushes they must be removed from tool (see, instructions below). Riplacement of these relatively inexpensive parts, when necessary, will keep your tool operating more efficiently and prolong the life of the motor.
IMPORTANT Be sure power cord is disconnected from power supply. To replace carbon brushes (See Fig. 8) unscrew brush cap, Key No. 50. (See parts list, page 3) and remove old brush, Key No. 51. Reassemble new brush and spring making sure that curvature of brush matches curvature of the surface of the motor to which it is mated and that the brushes move freely in holder. Be sure that brush caps are tight.

AUTO-SCROLLER SAW 1 INCH STROKE – MULTI-SPEED
MODEL NUMBER 315 26750
MULTI-SPEED This saw has the unique feature of continuously variable speed controlled by its electronic circuit assembly. The circuit assembly which has a reserve power feature automatically maintains constant speed and power to maximum as the load increases.
The speed control knob is located in the rear end cover where it remains readily available for immediate speed selection. Speeds may be changed while the saw is running.
The speed selector is conveniently numbered 1 through 12 and is easily visible through the opening in speed control knob. Number 1 corresponds to the lowest speed. Rotation of the knob from 1 to 12 will progressively increase the speed and power. Any intermediate knob setting may be used when so desired.
AVOID RUNNING AT SLOWER SPEEDS FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WHEN POSSIBLE. AT SLOWER SPEEDS UNDER CONSTANT PROLONGED, USAGE, THE UNIT MAY BECOME OVERHEATED. SHOULD THIS OCCUR, RUN TOOL WITH NO LOAD AT MAXIMUM SPEED TO COOL THE UNIT. THIS WILL ACCELERATE COOLING PROCESS.
During use, transit or storage of the saw provide a reasonable amount of protection around the speed control knob to prevent any possible damage.
The triager switch controls 'On - Off' operation of this saw, is double pole for added safety and has lock button with safety release for added utility. The lock button may be engaged when trigger is fully depressed. The trigger lock is convenient when saving soft woods or soft metals. DO NOT LOCK THE TRIG-GER ON HEAVY JOBS WHERE THE SAW MAY NEED TO BE STOPPED QUICKLY. The locking mechanism may be disenaaged by applying additional inward pressure to the trigger.
