Try removing either of the two bolts circled. I'd try the back one first as it looks to be in a slot that limits the overall movement of the guard. With it out of there the guard may pivot all the way up to the top and be out of the way. If not then remove the nut out of the front most circle and the entire guard should come off.

We hired a carpenter last year, who clearly had some experience. But when he tried to use our compound miter saw, he could not figure out how to do one damn thing on it. I'm not a carpenter, I paint houses, but I have some sense, and it was immediately clear to me how to release it to swing up, how to adjust the two angles.

So, where do morons like you and him come from, and what on earth makes you want to be near something that can cut your hand off? Go learn how to arrange flowers.

Yeah that blade is on backwards. It's either gonna kick back and knock that guys teeth out or shoot the wood straight at the operator. I like his style.

>> No.1965592

>>1965580

Or more than likely just burn the wood instead of cutting it... The motor itself is still spinning the proper direction, just the blade is in backwards.

>can't figure out how the fuck to unlock it so I can insert the blade
you're kidding right? when you say unlock are you talking about pulling the yellow round knob on the back that locks the head down? Or the spindle lock? it's all in the manual.

also anything yellow is a lock or a hold down. how stupid are you on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being dumb and 10 being stupid.

I've never called tech support on a tool in my entire life. I mean power tools are meant for guys with 5th grade educations to use.

Shit, sorry, I posted that vid to help OP unlock the head (his immediate hurdle), didn't even watch far enough to see the blade installed backwards.

OP, the blade can only be installed two ways, but only one is correct, and you'll have a bad time if you get it wrong. So read the documentation that came with both the saw and the blade.

Give me a suit of armor and a sliding miter saw and i'll get the results i said.

>> No.1965812

>>1965386
OP, there's something very important for you to know about these saws; THE BOLT THAT HOLDS ON THE BLADE IS A REVERSE THREADED BOLT. You have to turn it CLOCKWISE while the blade is locked or restrained in order to remove the bolt.

The second thing to know is that to lift the motor/saw assembly up you have to unlock it by depressing a locking pin near the rear of the saw on the right hand side of the assembly.... Basically back there by the "hinge" of the saw.

Don't feel bad that you didn't instinctively know how to do this shit; neither did any of the rest of us.... But some of us were fortunate enough to have someone teach us.
Good luck anon.

Yeah, we were all fortunate enough to be taught how to read. OP wasn't, but somehow he still crawled his way onto this board and started typing.

hol' up
you, with the manual in hand, and after even calling their support, can not replace the blade
you didn't even ask in the OP about how to do it, you literally made the thread saying that you're too retarded to figure it out
who the fuck let you buy one of those in the first place

Agreed... not even the same model of miter saw either. Low quality bait.
