That would be my very best guess and the first thing I would change out.

There should be a small black button on the right side of hand grip. You can also use a small block of wood between the blade teeth and the shoe to hold the blade in place while you loosen the blade nut.

That blade is too thin and looks like it is warped. Get a different blade for the saw and see if it is bowed or warped too. I agree with you not wanting to make any cuts with that.

look at other saws that have the same size trigger and as long as the handle is same size or larger it should definatly work

Another magnetic switch could be made to work. Grainger may be the place to look for one of these. You will likely have to modify the mounting and to some extent the wiring.

First take the switch out of the saw cabinet and make sure that the cover box (protrudes into the inside of the saw cabinet) is not full of sawdust. A common problem ...

Go to Sears web site for manual.

OK I don't know what your referring to about "PLUG CAP" is

Earlier comment 103.0205 Table Saws does not need lubrication is simply wrong. The103.0202, 103.0203, 103.0305 Craftsman Companion Table Saws main Arbor axle DOES have to lubricated or else the axle bearing will quickly loosen side-to-side or vertically and fail to provide accurate saw cuts. FWIW, Sears no longer sells Arbor Axle replacement parts... The Table Saw Arbor axle and Bearing Housing cannot use sealed bearings unless the saw case is re-milled and extensively modified. There are 2 Oil Hole Plugs (part# 475-32) that need to be opened and oil applied so the Arbor axle shaft does not get scored or worn. I use 30wt motor oil to relube the Arbor Axle Shaft depending on amount of use, temperature, and axle rotation stiffness. Remember, the higher the RPM speed of the table saw motor and/or the longer the use, the more frequently you may need to relube the Arbor Axle Bearing!

Often screws are hidden behind rubber mouldings on the outside of the case, try to prise up any rubber knobs or panels to see if screws are behind them.

You have the saw blade on back wards or wired wrong.

You very well may have put the blade on backwards or the saw has been wired wrong. Should spin counter- clockwise to draw the saw down to the wood when cutting
