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.
113.197250 Model number Believe the original manufacturer was Emerson. Thanks
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.
