change blade

[R A Smith]

How do I change the blade?

Hi R A,

Take a scrap of wood, a piece of 2X4 works great. Unplug the saw. Place the 2X4 on the table as if you where going to cut it. Lower the blade down so it is touching the 2X4. Now, using a wrench, Remove the blade bolt clockwise. The blade will dig into the 2X4 stopping the rotation of the blade. Replace the blade and tighten the blade bolt hand tight.

I hope this helps!

Don't forget to rotate the blade guard pivot up. One screw that is recessed on the upper right. This will fully expose the bolt holding the blade in place.
