Chop saws are used to cut various materials like metal and wood. You will find that most chop saws lock that helps to keep the spindle in place as you change the saw blade. You can find a chop saw to replace the worn out ones in your local home improvement store. Be sure to read the manual to help you understand the correct thickness for your blade. Most blades have the thickness listed in the center. Here some tips that will help you when changing chop saw blade:
You should never forget to disconnect your chop saw from the outlet prior to changing the blade. Then remove the arm lock pin by pushing down the arm. You should raise the arm of the chop saw until it's fully open. The arm is always spring loaded and you should not release it suddenly. This can lead to damage of the arm if you are not careful.
You should rotate the wheel guard and you will find a mounting bolt. They are used to secure the saw blade on the saw. Be careful and keep the bolts in a safe place to avoid misplacing them
To change the blade, you must lock the spindle. There is a lock button which you press down and it's near the start or motor trigger. You should remove the blade using a socket wrench to loosen the securing bolt. Take off the bolt and outer washer and then remove the blade from the spindle.
Take off the spacer from the worn out blade and put it in the new blade. Then, go to place the new blade in the spindle until it fits properly inside the washer. This will make sure that you do not go through a tough time to tighten the new blade.
A connected power saw can be risky to repair. Even though a power saw makes your work easier, it's listed as one of the most dangerous power tools that people use at home. This means that extreme caution is required. If you are not sure on how to put on a new blade, get someone who has the experience. This will ensure that the chop saw is fitted a new blade properly and made safe for you to use.
As with any power tool, be sure to use safety goggles to protect the eyes, tie back long hair, and do not wear loose fitting clothing when using your chop saw.
