While trying to put up shelves in our storage building I needed to cut some 1×4’s for the braces. I have had this saw for 10 years and I don’t believe the blade has ever been changed. My sister tried to cut some wood the other day and had a very hard time of it. I purchased a new one and went about trying to change it. I couldn’t figure out how to stop the blade from spinning while trying to loosen the bolt. I found this video which was very helpful. I hope it helps you as well.
Update: Mine didn’t have a pin to push in. Some directions tell you that there is a red button on the face of the saw and this will lock your blade. Mine didn’t. So I had to carefully hold the blade with a pair of pliers so I didn’t bend anything while I turned the screw. It worked.
