Background

The Craftsman Circular Saw 113.235100 is a non-compound miter saw that was manufactured by Emerson Electric Co. for Sears under the Craftsman brand. The product is designed to perform various types of cutting operations, such as miter cuts and bevel cuts. Miter cuts refer to angle cutting operations made across the width of the workpiece, while bevel cuts are angle cutting operations made through the face of the workpiece. The saw also allows for compound cuts, which are simultaneous bevel and miter cutting operations.

The saw operates with an AC motor that is universal and non-reversible. It has specifications of 2 maximum developed H.P., a voltage of 120, 12 amperes, 60 Hertz (cycles), is single phase, and has revolutions per minute (RPM) of 5000. The saw's motor specifications indicate that it is designed for use with a 120v, 15-amp branch circuit, and the shaft rotation at the blade end is clockwise. The miter saw also features a double insulation system, which provides a double thickness of insulation between the user and the tool's electrical system. This ensures that all exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
