The switch is an essential piece of the Craftsman Model 315.10721. Even if the motor and inner hardware is working, if the switch is broken, the saw will not start.

    • Remove the two 1" Phillips screws using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

    • Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver or a small diameter screwdriver, gently insert it into the leads. When the screwdriver is inserted into the lead, it will release the wire.

    • The leads are where the black and white wires from the switch are plugged in.

    • Release both sets of the black and white wires and gently pull them from the leads.

    • To install the new switch, insert the wires of the new cord in the same way that they were removed.
