    • Although this is not a difficult fix, it can definitely make a mess.

    • Use the crescent wrench to remove the hex washer head screw and the washer.

    • Gently lift the blade up and pull it off of the internal threaded shaft.

    • If the hex washer head screw, or the entire blade spins as you turn the wrench, a quick jerk of the crescent wrench should loosen the screw.

    • Although many screws loosen in the clockwise direction, the hex washer head screw on this circular saw loosens in the counter-clockwise direction.

    • Lift up on the blade cover until it unsnaps from the washer.

    • The blade cover will come off easier if the bulk of the cover is facing away from the saw.
