Craftsman 315.108220: How to lock the blade shaft on a Craftsman 315.108220 circular saw?

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 09:42:18 -0700

Does anyone know whether there is a “brake” on the driven saw blade shaft of this model so you can unscrew the blade bolt? If not can you suggest how I can lock the shaft and remove the blade bolt? The blade is loose and freely rotates on the shaft but it is impossible to remove the blade bolt because the blade shaft and the armature turn. I seek suggestions how I can lock the shaft and thus remove the blade bolt. Because the saw blade can not be removed, I can’t fully disassemble the saw and thus gain access to the gear case where I could lock the shaft..

Craftsman 315.108220: Why is my Craftsman Model 315.108220 not allowing me to tighten the bl

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 10:03:39 -0700

I just removed the nut holding the blade and replaced the blade. After replacing the blade I was careful to put the nut and two washers back in the same orientation under the nut. The nut will not fully tighten. The saw blade is loose and has some wobble. Now I am unable to take the nut off as it turns without unscrewing while holding the lade fixed. What is wrong?

Craftsman Circular Saw 31510925 2016: How to reattach spring onto blade cover? How can I coil and enclose

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 08:57:06 -0700

How can I reattach the spring that activates the lower blade cover

I would appreciate your help as I can't make the connections for reassembly of the saw.!

I have removed the blade and its bolt. The shield has jumped off the hook of the spring. One end of the coil spring remains in its hole. The hooked end lies disconnected from the shield which also is loose (unsnapped) from the center washer. How do I get the spring coiled hooked in the shield and all attached, at this point?

Thank's,
