The owner's manual that I have for that model is marked "Printed in U.S.A. 2/81

A manual for the Craftsman lawnmower model 944.607853 can be ordered from the Craftsman company. Another option is to contact the store where the lawnmower was purchased and have them order a manual.
http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=2832 Guaranteed this is the manual for your saw... It's a 22 inch length table, hard to find saw.
The model could be on a metal model plate, or on a sticker. The model label could be anywhere on the saw, look over it on every part for the numbers.
